wonderful

wonderful and interesting. kept me listening the Hoole time. I am not usually one for the romance subplot, but let's just say it surprised me. it didn't feel over done and it fit in to the plot nicely.

Epic dystopian fantasy

Would you listen to Red Queen again? Why?

Yes, because I'm sure that it could keep me entertained again.

Any additional comments?

Being born a red meant that you were born a sub-citizen, a lesser being than the elite silvers with all of their powers and riches. Mare Barrow knows who she is, and where she’s headed, well that is until a freak turn of events put her in front of the silver court, demonstrating a power equal to that of any red. Mare’s world quickly turns more dangerous than she could have imagined, and she had imagined plenty of dangers throughout her life. Knowing who to trust is the hardest lesson she will have to learn, and watching those she loves die around her only strengthens her resolve; the reds must win.
The story starts at a simple pace only to increase to an intense action-packed plot. It is reminiscent of The Hunger Games with a dystopian world where equality is a thing of the past. Mare is a strong character who gets knocked down countless times only to rise up once more, but she isn’t particularly introspective, and you only get a brief glimpse into the real workings of her mind. It reads like it should be a film (and it will be soon), and this is not a bad thing.
I’m giving the book a five-star rating, but if I was to choose something that I change about it then it would be to add a little more romantic detail on the love triangle with the princes. I guess I’ll just have to read the next book in the series.

overall a good story

If you could sum up Red Queen in three words, what would they be?

interesting character stories

What did you like best about this story?

The attention to the description of the gifts that the silvers held and the way that their society was divided .

Any additional comments?

could have had a little more tension and twists towards the end

average.

The storyline just moved far too fast for a deep connection to be creates with the characters and the audience and a lot of this book just seems to be pickings and huge elements taken from other famous books, I.e. The hunger games.

This book was nothing like I thought it would be!

Started this book and was thinking another magic/love and hate book ..... but I was pleasantly surprised it has depth, the characters really come to life and you can see all the places they go in your minds eye because of the easy simple way both the author and reader have of explaining everything! Strong story can't wait to see how it grows in book 2

Could have been better

Fun-ish, but dragged on. I saw many of the twists coming. Fine for background listening.

first book from audible

I really enjoyed it. It is easy to develop an addiction to this book. Great story and perfect performance of Amanda 😊 couldn't choose a better voice for it.

Highly enjoyable

A highly enjoyable jaunt into a post-apocalyptic / hunger games style world. I would read/listen to further books in the series.

Intresting, but predictable

The story is intriguing and I enjoyed a female protagonist with some proper snark even if I wish she had kept it longer.
