Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard

4.0

Ok, so I don't know if the first time I read this I had read some REALLY good books before and this time I read some not as good books before and so this book seems better than before or if I wasn't in the mood for it before and was now or maybe because I knew the end for sure and didn't have to be disappointed by the predictable ending. In any case I thought this book was much better the second time around. I reread it because I didn't remember anything that happened in it and I wanted to read book 2. It's tropey at times (I let go the breath I didn't know I was holding) and borrows from all sorts of genres but even this second reading it gripped me and I didn't want to put the book down. I actually really like the super powers blended in with post post apocalyptic dystopia and also the royal drama stuff.
