Synopsis: The poverty stricken Reds are commoners, living under the rule of the Silvers, elite warriors with god-like powers. To Mare Barrow, a 17-year-old Red girl from The Stilts, it looks like nothing will ever change. Mare finds herself working in the Silver Palace, at the centre of those she hates the most. She quickly discovers that, despite her red blood, she possesses a deadly power of her own. One that threatens to destroy Silver control. But power is a dangerous game. And in this world divided by blood, who will win? |

Initial Thoughts: The cover is perfect - simple, elegant, and haunting. This is the sole reason why I'm picking up this book.
The blurb, on the other hand, sounds like it's setting itself up for a love triangle. Oh no.
Review
This book should be renamed "Stupid Decisions", because that's all it was. Victoria Aveyard and everyone in this book needs a lesson about basic politics.
