Author: Victoria Aveyard Book Color: Purple
Book Genre: Dystopian Fantasy Summary: Mare Barrow is a thief and scoundrel, but for a good reason. She lives in a world that is divided in to classes by their blood: those with normal, Red blood are commoners who live in the Slums, live poorly, and are sometimes even servants for those of Silver blood, who are of a higher class and have superhuman abilities, like strength, mind-control, and metal-bending. Mare is invited (correction: forced) to work at the King's palace as a servant. But when she is thrown in a precarious situation in the middle of a big Silver event, she soon realizes she has a power of her own. The King, in order to hide this impossibility, forces Mare to play the role of a long-lost Silver princess and is bound to one of his sons. As she is drawn in deeper into the Silver world, she joins a rebel group called the Scarlet Guard, who's plan is to overthrow the Silver empire. But secrets can't be kept forever, and in the world of Red and Silver blood, Mare will have to figure out who she can trust before her secret is spilled to the entire world. Personal Review: This was a really great book. There were lots of suspenseful parts, and there is a very unexpected plot twist at the end. Once you read, you will not want to put it down. It is also a Truman Nominee, so that probably explains the reason why it is so good. Recommendation: I would recommend this book for people who like dystopian, fantasy, or action books. This would be a good book for middle school students to read, as it is a 2017-2018 Truman Nominee. I've been reading them lately so I can vote, so if you see more Nominee's on here, don't be surprised! :) Click here to buy this book via Amazon!
