Perfect for you if...

You love high-stakes fantasy with a protagonist who's equally good at leading a rebellion and doubting herself.
You want your magic systems tied to class warfare and oppression, not just sparkly world-building.
You're invested in Mare's journey from the first book and ready for the emotional toll of being a weapon people depend on.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer standalone books because sequels feel like cash grabs to you.
You're looking for a love story first and a rebellion second, since Mare's romance takes a backseat to survival here.
You need constant action because character introspection and moral complexity can feel like pacing drags to you.

About this book

Glass Sword is the second book in Victoria Aveyard's Red Queen series. Mare Barrow has red blood, marking her as common folk, but possesses a Silver ability to control lightning. After escaping from Maven, the prince who betrayed her, Mare discovers she is not the only person with both red blood and Silver powers. Now pursued by Maven, who has become king, Mare seeks to find and recruit other Red-and-Silver fighters to fight against their oppressors. As she pursues this rebellion, Mare faces a dangerous question: will the cost of her struggle transform her into the kind of monster she opposes, or has betrayal hardened her enough to endure?
