I'm doing this review while the story Is still fresh in my mind. Sometimes I wait so long, I completely forget what turned me off or on as a reader. Anyway, I liked the cover that was enough. However, I feel like the title of this story was a bit misleading. It would have made sense if someone from the Red Guard had become Queen. Hence the Red Queen, in this book that didn't happen. I didn't read a ton of reviews upon reading this book. I looked at the star ratings. Wanting to read a good book, I ordered it offline and was quite excited to start it. Now IMO the five star ratings was a hype, I was disappointing. I hate, hate, hate writing negative feedback about books. I can imagine what the writer has sacrificed to make a story come alive. Within the first couple chapters I was 100 percent sure that this book was about faeries. Soon I realized that despite the pale skin and silver blood, they were not faeries but just mutated or I guess, evolved humans? Or Gods? I have no Fricking clue. The characters had so many titles, selkie, nymph, whisperer, shadow, Oh my. It went on and on forever. The newly evolved Mara comes into her new powers. Which was weird because she's a red. Yeah Red. So many colors...Anyway, shes a red, but she can control electricity. The queen (who is NOT the Red Queen) calls her "little lightning girl. Then every character that comes into contact with her calls her the SAME nickname. Even new characters. Now, if you don't know someone well enough to know their nickname...what are the odds that you will come up with the same EXACT nickname as everyone else? Every single time? It's a thinker. That's for sure. Then, the Silvers in this story are humans. But God like? They bleed silver blood. Their skin is pale with a silver hue. A red is normal toned. Now, an entire arena sees a non-silver skinned girl fall into the arena with powers. Then it's like the writer forgot that she gave them different skin colors, so just decided to paint the red, silver. Wouldn't all the people that seen her as a red, wonder why the heck she's now silver? I mean. Maybe i'm over thinking it. Or maybe something epic and mind altering slipped by me. But It just didn't make sense to me. Also their was so much detail about the fighting. Not enough romance to keep me intrigued. Plus Mara ends up with feelings for three different boys. One Kilorn, she saw herself having babies with him, marrying him. Maven, she fell in love with him. Pretty quickly. Cal, she fell in love with him too. I get the feeling that it's hard to write an interesting story, to plan out everything in your head. But this book was fighting so hard to be unique, it had every single bit of every single young adult/adult book I've EVER read. Except vampires, there were no vampires. The best part of this book was the epilogue. That was interesting. But not enough to make me want to read the next book. :(
