Goodreads description--Graceling meets The Selection in debut novelist Victoria Aveyard's sweeping tale of seventeen-year-old Mare, a common girl whose once-latent magical power draws her into the dangerous intrigue of the king's palace. Will her power save her or condemn her?Mare Barrow's world is divided by blood--those with common, Red blood serve the Silver- blooded elite, who are gifted with superhuman abilities. Mare is a Red, scraping by as a thief in a poor, rural village, until a twist of fate throws her in front of the Silver court. Before the king, princes, and all the nobles, she discovers she has an ability of her own.
To cover up this impossibility, the king forces her to play the role of a lost Silver princess and betroths her to one of his own sons. As Mare is drawn further into the Silver world, she risks everything and uses her new position to help the Scarlet Guard--a growing Red rebellion--even as her heart tugs her in an impossible direction. One wrong move can lead to her death, but in the dangerous game she plays, the only certainty is betrayal.

ReplyDeleteI cannot wait to read this book. I also already have a copy but try to read my review books in the order they are coming out. I still have 3 review books ahead of it. but I should get to it soon.
ReplyDeleteThis was a pick of mine a few weeks ago. I can't wait. That cover is beautiful I know that shouldn't matter but still it's pretty.
ReplyDeleteThis book sounds good and the cover just screams Read Me! Which book am I waiting for? This Shattered World. I can't wait to get back into that story!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by and commenting Danica!
ReplyDeleteEach one can't be for everyone. Thanks for stopping by and commenting Sandra!
ReplyDeleteIt definitely is one that I've seen a lot of buzz about! Thanks for stopping by and commenting Zessi!
ReplyDeleteAnytime! One of the things I love about the WOW meme is finding other books to add to my list that I've never heard of before. Thanks for stopping by and commenting El!
ReplyDeleteI've got access to a copy too! And I'm hoping that we both enjoy it! Thanks for stopping by and commenting Brooke!
ReplyDeleteI'd love ideally to read my review books in order of release, but that just doesn't happen. I'm a mood reader. Plus I'm a bit rebellious when I feel forced into something. So I just read as I feel like it. :) I hope we both enjoy it! Thanks for stopping by and commenting Jennifer!
ReplyDeleteIt does have a great cover. And I'm totally one that judges a book by the cover. I don't mean to, but it just happens. Thanks for stopping by and commenting Nicole!
ReplyDeleteDoesn't it though! I JUST finished This Shattered World last night. It wasn't really what I was expecting, but that's a good thing. I hope you get to read it soon. Thanks for commenting Marni!
