Our book club recently finished a new YA novel, Red Queen. It's set in a medival dystopian future land and features a female protagonist with magical powers. Here's the feedback we received:
I'm not sure what I think about the book. It was interesting enough to hold my attention, but I feel like the story took a cliche turn with love triangles and stadium fights.
It's like X-men and Hunger Games had a baby and it was Red Queen. It's definitely derivative.
I agree it is somewhat derivative, but still quite entertaining. I'll definitely keep reading - too bad the next one won't be out until February.
It's a fun story and a good choice for me to read with my teenage daughter. The author set us up for a sequel, maybe a trilogy.
I liked it and want to know how things turn out. I agree it was a bit of a familiar story, but none-the-less a familiar story that I enjoy. I'll definitely read the sequel if there is one.
Overall, we agreed that the book was entertaining and it was worth giving the sequel, Glass Sword, a try. We also wondered if the author was tying in co-evolution on purpose. We'll keep hypothesizing until the sequel comes out next year.
