Glass Sword (Red Queen #2) 
£10.99 for a paperback?!Completely and totally not worth the money. Luckily I borrowed a copy. I could not bring myself to spend money on this and boy am I glad I went with my instincts on this one. What a fucking terrible book. If I am a sword, I am a sword made of glass, and I feel myself beginning to shatter.I'm really not exaggerating when I say I hated this. I strongly disliked Red Queen but there were enjoyable moments. But while reading Glass Sword I could literally feel my life ebbing
The second book in the series, 'Glass Sword' picks up where 'Red Queen' left off. Mare and Cal are on the run with The Scarlet Guard, as they regroup and plan their next move. It doesn't take long for this story to get more complicated once they begin their missions to save the other "new bloods" and bring down the king.Although this time around Mare and Cal seemed to grow closer, there still wasn't enough romance for me. I enjoyed the action and adventure, but I craved a deeper, more emotional

After Mare and Cal manage to escape execution, Maven begins to relentlessly hunt them. Which wouldn't be so bad if they were going to stay on the secured island they're hiding out at, courtesy of the Scarlet Guard, but alas there is the problem of the New Bloods. Mare and Cal must race against Maven to get to the New Bloods before he can kill them, as well as figure out a place to keep and train them. The two also must try to deal with the fall out from Maven's betrayal and their feelings for
"If I am a sword, I am a sword made of glass, beginning to shatter." This book ruined my life.I HATED it.But I LOVED it all the same.I know that people either hate or love Red Queen but I really do believe that this series is slowing becoming its own. Red Queen was far from original and I still had lots of X-Men and Hunger Game vibes while reading Glass Sword but I still enjoyed this book nonetheless and I'm really looking forward to seeing this series evolve even more as the later books come

Ilustration To Books Glass Sword (Red Queen #2)
If there’s one thing Mare Barrow knows, it’s that she’s different. Mare Barrow’s blood is red—the color of common folk—but her Silver ability, the power to control lightning, has turned her into a weapon that the royal court tries to control. The crown calls her an impossibility, a fake, but as she makes her escape from Maven, the prince—the friend—who betrayed her, Mare uncovers something startling: she is not the only one of her kind. Pursued by Maven, now a vindictive king, Mare sets out to find and recruit other Red-and-Silver fighters to join in the struggle against her oppressors. But Mare finds herself on a deadly path, at risk of becoming exactly the kind of monster she is trying to defeat. Will she shatter under the weight of the lives that are the cost of rebellion? Or have treachery and betrayal hardened her forever? The electrifying next installment in the Red Queen series escalates the struggle between the growing rebel army and the blood-segregated world they’ve always known—and pits Mare against the darkness that has grown in her soul.Point Books As Glass Sword (Red Queen #2)

If I am a sword, I am a sword made of glass, and I feel myself beginning to shatter. I would be more than willing to be the one who shatters you and stomps on your pieces, insufferable lightning girl!I swear I have no idea how I managed to finish Glass Sword. I'm not saying this because I found the plot slow like I read on many reviews, or because it suffered from second-book-syndrome, but because for the first time in my life I wanted to physically hurt the heroine with such a seething£10.99 for a paperback?!Completely and totally not worth the money.
