Review: Red Queen

Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard
My rating: 1 of 5 stars

(1.5/5) I feel bad for saying this but dang I didn't really like it, it was okay. I don't think there was anything particular wrong with the book, I just didn't enjoy it. It reminded me of the beginning of the Hunger Game, and the really boring political parts in Divergent. It felt sooooo loooong. All about Rebels... terrorists...

The beginning was so much like Hunger Games... girl in a poor family with younger sister, has an attractive guy friend she known forever. Then they assemble for a political meeting like the name calling for tributes in Hunger Games. Her guy friend is being taken into the army and she feels responsible, just like how Hunger Games Katniss volunteered for tribute to save her sister. Then there's the rich crowd that holds the games and has all the power.... ughhhh.

(view spoiler)[
- Of course the guy she tries to steal from and catches her doing it and gives her a lot of money is the prince... of course lol who else wouldn’t care about giving a lot of money to a thief, a young boy prince. I figured he was someone high up and I figured when she was summoned it was his doing, nothing else happened that would be any other reason. And hmmm the title is Red Queen... can it get more predictable? She’s going to become queen and be with Cal...

I sadly won't be continuing to read the series
