Mare's paranoia and hurt over Maven's betrayal in Red Queen threaten to turn her as dark as her enemies as she rushes to recruit others with red blood and powers before Maven can find and kill them. Characterization and consistency are sacrificed to move the plot, but readers wanting drama, action, and a strong emotional hook will still appreciate this second volume.
