Ugh...
Mare is a Red in a world where Reds and Silvers have been waging war for over a hundred years. They are separated by the color of their blood. But there is a problem, Mare has the unique ability among her fellow Reds. And when the Silvers find out about it they decide to keep it a secret by making her their new princess. All seems okay at first, but things turned sinister very fast. Love, betrayal, death... how much can Mare stand before she cracks under pressure? I don't read books like this and this is why: the main characters are usually naive and annoying like nails on a chalkboard. They make you want to just jump in the book and slap some sense into them. The storylines are completely cliche and I feel like I have read them a hundred times before. And the plot twists are completely predictable and not surprising to me at all. I got a headache from rolling my eyes so much at this book. To me this book has about as much substances a stick of chewing gum. I understand that this book is very popular right now and if you are into young adult fantasy novels chances are you will probably like this one, many people do. But honestly it is just not for me in any way. I feel like I need something darker or deeper or something with more passion in it. This, to me, was like chewing a dry piece of toast. Just not my cup of tea. I would recommend this book to you if you like young adult and/or fantasy novels simply because of this book's popularity and not because of my opinion.
