The first time I read Red Queen I loved the book. However since the release of the next two in the series my love of the book has been seriously diminished. Where the original story of Mare Barrow finding out she has powers, in a world where silver bloods are supposed to be the only ones who have it, Mare suddenly finding herself into a world of cover ups and betrayals. I really enjoyed the twist and turns of the first book. Unfortunely the same cover ups and beytrals happen in the same way and get dragged out each book. So whilst I love the first one unfortunetly the later books destroy my love of the first.

I enjoyed The Cruel Prince. It was interesting and kept my attention, had me guessing at what could possibly be Jude's next move. I've never been particularly good at chess, so there were many secrets and strategies I did not foresee, which made things more interesting. I'm a romantic girl at heart and I think that was my downfall in reading this book, I kept expecting a romantic angle, like in The Red Queen or Ash Princess. Despite that, I really liked it!
