The highly anticipated new novel from New York Times number one bestselling author of RED QUEEN.

Mare Barrow is a prisoner, powerless without her lightning, tormented by her mistakes. She lives at the mercy of a boy she once loved, a boy made of lies and betrayal.

Now a king, Maven continues weaving his web in an attempt to maintain control over his country - and his prisoner.

As Mare remains trapped in the palace, the remnants of the Red Rebellion continue organizing and expanding. As they prepare for war, no longer able to linger in the shadows, Cal - the exiled prince with his own claim on Mare's heart - will stop at nothing to bring her back.

In this breathless new novel from the bestselling author of the Red Queen series, blood will turn on blood and allegiances will be tested on every side. If the Lightning Girl's spark is gone, who will light the way for the rebellion?

Read by Amanda Dolan, Adenrele Ojo and Erin Spencer

Critic Reviews

I finished this book over the weekend, and all I can say is that I wish I read it slower, because the wait for the next book is going to be painful. (Planet Print blog)
It's high adrenaline stuff...the double-crossing and duplicity is the real loop-the-loop, awesome roller-coaster star attraction.
All the characters are great, and the relationships that Victoria Aveyard builds and breaks between them will have you feeling all the emotions, there is a great mix of action and contemplation that works so terrifically well.
Aveyard weaves a compelling new world, and Mare and the two men in her life evolve intriguingly as class tension rises. Revolution supersedes romance, setting the stage for action-packed surprises. An inventive, character-driven twist breathes new life into tired fantasy trends.
'Red Queen is a clever blend of The Hunger Games, The Selection, Graceling and Divergent.'
"A whirlwind of betrayal and plot twists."
"It's slick, it's interesting and ... gripping."
All hail Victoria Aveyard - the new Queen of dystopian fiction.

Just finished this book and can't believe that there will be a 4th! This book was filled with nothing, the Cameron chapters could of been completely left out. The second part of the book was just a repeat of the same thing I had read in the last two. This series could of been finished easily in this book if actually content was put in it. A book like this should be exciting to read not a chore.

Been listening to this series for a few weeks now. The narrator for Mare puts next to no acting or emphasis on the characters, and I find myself tuning out every now and then.
The voice actor for Cameron sounds like a 30+ year old women and the character is 15, seems odd to me.
And the narrator for Evangeline talks too slow and I have to up the speed a bit.

But other than that, the story itself is captivating and worth the listen.

Decent Story, Unlikable Narrators

I wasn't a big fan of the narrator for Cameron's chapters. Amanda Dolan on the other hand was fantastic as usual.

Narrator for Cameron 😕

This was a great series, you can not stop listening. Lots of plot twists and things going on in the series to keep you on your toes

Great story

I enjoyed this book more than the second, but I think it's better to marathon the series in order to get the full impact.

An Enjoyable Sequel
