Book 1-Red Queen:
This was a great book! I was digging through Amazon trying to find the best deal on the next book to find I bought a hard o er boxed set.

I adore this series and all of these characters. It's hard to know where to start.
The world building is fascinating and clever since it doesn't give you all of the information from the get-go. You have to piece some it together yourself which I enjoy a lot. The politics of this series are engaging and intricate but also not so complicated that it bogs down the reading.
The characters are incredibly fun to read about. I loved the progression of Maven and Evangeline especially. I can't think of any main character that I found to be two dimensional or dull to read about. Mare also thwarts a lot of YA tropes. She's bitter and hurt but also fiercely protective of her loved ones and not just plain stupid like a lot of main characters in YA fiction.
Anyone comparing it to Divergent or Selection is just plain wrong. It's much more engaging and much better written.

If you’re looking for emotional whiplash, dark fantasy with fighter jets, and the sister series to T.S’s “something in the haze had a sense i’d been betrayed” this is perfect

The twists and turns in these books were immaculate. Unfortunately, I just couldnt get into them. I never even finished the series. I think I made it through the first two?

Personally the ending could have been better but there are other books that will add to it. Overall, its a decent read but i wouldnt recommend.
