This book has a good concept and decent pacing, although sometimes the narrative felt a little confused like information hadn't been given when it should and so appeared in the form of a fact dump. It is very definitely YA and doesn't tackle anything too sophisticated emotion-wise, but the characters are very well written and have distinctive voices

That being said, the idea of the red bloods and white bloods (the tension causing differential in this series) has set up a very interesting world that I am going to go back to so I can find out what happens next after the setting up of book 1

People have been comparing this to Powerless, and I can definitely see the resemblance. I will say this one felt like it was written better. It had such a strong start, but kind of fizzled out the longer it went on.

The plot twist? Way too predictable. There were a few things I didn’t see coming, but nothing that really shocked me. I didn’t love it and I didn’t hate it—it just left me feeling a little meh.

That said, the cliffhanger was solid, and I’m definitely curious enough to pick up the next one and see where it goes.

Relatively predictable and not altogether a unique story. That being said, Red Queen is entertaining and fast paced at times. I enjoyed the book and am looking forward to continuing on with the series.
