If there’s one thing Mare Barrow knows, it’s that she’s different.
Mare Barrow’s blood is red—the color of common folk—but her Silver ability, the power to control lightning, has turned her into a weapon that the royal court tries to control.
The crown calls her an impossibility, a fake, but as she makes her escape from Maven, the prince—the friend—who betrayed her, Mare uncovers something startling: she is not the only one of her kind.
Pursued by Maven, now a vindictive king, Mare sets out to find and recruit other Red-and-Silver fighters to join in the struggle against her oppressors.
But Mare finds herself on a deadly path, at risk of becoming exactly the kind of monster she is trying to defeat.
Will she shatter under the weight of the lives that are the cost of rebellion? Or have treachery and betrayal hardened her forever?
The electrifying next installment in the Red Queen series escalates the struggle between the growing rebel army and the blood-segregated world they’ve always known—and pits Mare against the darkness that has grown in her soul.

Glass Sword didn't have the same kind of pacing as Red Queen. It was much slower than I had anticipated. I had thought that since Red Queen ends at such an explosive moment that that momentum would carry over to an even faster pacing in Glass Sword. The majority of the book is dedicated to Mare focusing her attention on finding and recruiting other individuals like herself with abilities that are out of the norm. There are bits of action scattered throughout the book but it doesn't help to improve the pacing. I still enjoyed the story but I feel like it fell a bit flat. I also didn't understand the ending because it seemed so abrupt. There didn't appear to be any lead up or explanation for how things progressed to that point. Overall, I felt as if the story didn't really progress the plot enough and seemed to go in circles. I would have liked to have seen more character growth and greater changes in the world.
I'm almost done with this! I feel the same way. I'm also bugged with the repetition.
