Summary From Goodreads: 
The poverty stricken Reds are commoners, living under the rule of the Silvers, elite warriors with god-like powers. 
To Mare Barrow, a 17-year-old Red girl from The Stilts, it looks like nothing will ever change.
Mare finds herself working in the Silver Palace, at the centre of those she hates the most. She quickly discovers that, despite her red blood, she possesses a deadly power of her own. One that threatens to destroy Silver control. But power is a dangerous game. And in this world divided by blood, who will win?

There's been a lot of hype surrounding this book, and I understand why because it sounds amazing. The reviews I've seen have been pretty good, so I hope it lives up to my expectations! I love the cover too. It's simple but gorgeous!

  1. I'm really excited about Red Queen! From what I've heard from people who've already read it, it lives up to the hype. A friend of mine is raving about it to me as she reads it. Great pick, not much longer to wait! I hope you enjoy it when it's out!

  5. I have this grand feeling that you'll love Red Queen very much, Ariel ;) I read it not too long ago, and while I didn't give it 5 stars, it was still very very good with a writing akin to Marie Rutkoski (if you are familiar with her and her book, "The Winner's Curse"). I can't wait to see what you think of it :D
