In a world where there is a divide between the Reds, commoners with red blood, and the Silvers, well-off individuals with powers; Red Queen follows Mare Barrow, a 17-year-old girl with red common blood who has arranged a job in the Silver Palace. In preparation for the Silver succession, the most important night, Mare discovers that despite being a Red, she also has powers, and reveals it in front of the nobility. Mare can no longer live as she did before because now she has to act as a Silver. In Red Queen, Mare meets many new characters who she becomes tied to like Prince Cal and Maven. The dynamics of these characters end up resulting in unexpected plot twists which really keeps you on your toes. A quote that is repeated is “anyone can betray anyone” and I liked how it was implemented throughout the book. I would recommend that new Red Queen readers keep this quote in mind as they are first starting this book.
