Next, Mare meets Cameron who can cut off anyone’s abilities.

The others are hesitant to believe Jon since he is pretty creepy, but Mare decides to believe him. Also, during this time, Mare comes to meet Jon, an older man, that tells her the future. This sounds pretty sexy, but the two don’t do much in this book besides kiss sparingly and lie to each other about their feelings. Mare and Cal bond over their hatred of Maven and start sleeping in the same bed. The sounder leaves Mare with lightning scars, and Maven carves his initial M into her neck just for fun.Īfter this incident, Mare doubles her search for Newbloods and ends up making a home base for them to live. Maven is now in possession of a sounder, which can block Mare’s abilities and hurt her. They’re successful at obtaining this information, but on their way out of the city, they cross paths with Maven again who has a dangerous new toy. Stuff gets crazier when the homies decide to go to a big city to use their database to find the addresses of all the newbloods. I’m sure we can guess how well that’s going to work out. Mare and Cal are clearly in love but decide not to pursue a relationship because they don’t want to distract each other. Once Cal is free, Mare, Shade, Kilorn, and Fairly steal a jet and bounce in order to recruit newbloods themselves.Ĭal swears he won’t fight for the Red Guard but agrees to help them out anyways because the boy isn’t leaving Mare’s side anytime soon. Mare decides she can’t trust the Colonel not only for his treatment of Cal but because he doesn’t care at all about her list of newbloods, reds with special abilities. Mare reunites with her family briefly before she frees Cal from his prison. There we meet Farely’s dad, a Colonel, who runs the place and immediately locks up Cal.

Next, our heroes make it to Tuck, lake lander territory, aka the people the crown is currently fighting. After some fire and lightening summoning from our two leads, Shade teleports everyone to safety. Cal and Mare emerge from the safety of the Red Guard’s subway only to meet Maven and his big ass army. Glass Sword picks up immediately after Red Queen ends. However, I didn’t feel the same for Glass Sword. I loved Red Queen and the ending of the book threw me for a loop. I am continuing on my reading rainbow journey of the Red Queen series, and today I’ll be reviewing the sequel, Glass Sword.
