About this listen
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.
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?

Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was supposed to enter the Scribe Quadrant, living a quiet life among books and history. Now, the commanding general—also known as her tough-as-talons mother—has ordered Violet to join the hundreds of candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders. But when you’re smaller than everyone else and your body is brittle, death is only a heartbeat away...because dragons don’t bond to “fragile” humans. They incinerate them. With fewer dragons willing to bond than cadets, most would kill Violet to better their own chances of success.

Chosen from birth to usher in a new era, Poppy’s life has never been her own. The life of the Maiden is solitary. Never to be touched. Never to be looked upon. Never to be spoken to. Never to experience pleasure. Waiting for the day of her Ascension, she would rather be with the guards, fighting back the evil that took her family, than preparing to be found worthy by the gods. But the choice has never been hers.

Story
Sixteen years ago the Kingdom of Winter was conquered and its citizens enslaved, leaving them without magic or a monarch. Now the Winterians' only hope for freedom is the eight survivors who managed to escape, and who have been waiting for the opportunity to steal back Winter's magic and rebuild the kingdom ever since. Orphaned as an infant during Winter's defeat, Meira has lived her whole life as a refugee, raised by the Winterians' general, Sir.

Magic, adventure, mystery, and romance combine in this epic debut in which a young princess must reclaim her dead mother’s throne, learn to be a ruler - and defeat the Red Queen, a powerful and malevolent sorceress determined to destroy her. On her 19th birthday, Princess Kelsea Raleigh Glynn, raised in exile, sets out on a perilous journey back to the castle of her birth to ascend her rightful throne. Plain and serious, a girl who loves books and learning, Kelsea bears little resemblance to her mother, the vain and frivolous Queen Elyssa.

As the book begins deep in Oklahoma early one morning in 1976, nine men from Ruby (pop. 360), in defense of "the one all-black town worth the pain", assault the nearby Convent and the women in it. From the town's ancestral origins in 1890 to the fateful day of the assault, Paradise tells the story of a people ever mindful of the relationship between their spectacular history and a void.

The narrator was annoying. The writing quality bad
I really liked the first book but expected the writing to improve with the second. It didn't. It declined horribly, and most of the time it seemed that the author was lost on what to say. Also, she used the words mumble, murmer, mutter, and grumble so many times it was annoying!!!! She needs to find another word for explaining a person talking. It made me wonder if she knew the real definition of murmer because half the time it's used it doesn't make sense within the casual or exciting conversation going on. The narrator is very breathy and pronounces things wrong sometimes and also mixes up accents or character voices. Another point is the author is inconsistent with the facts of her own world. Like at one point she says something has been going on for months for a character when at another point she reflects on how only a few weeks have gone by for this character. *sigh* I think this book has ruined the series for me.

Whoa!
This second book started off really slowly. I had a hard time getting into it, but about chapter 17 it started picking up the pace. The death of one of the characters hit me hard, and I almost cried.
But, that ending... OMG! I am just glad I don’t have to wait until the author writes the next book. Ha ha!

Can’t Stop Listening
A book you can’t stop listening to. After Every Chapter you just want to go to the next chapter.

Great plot, poor main character
I like the plot of this story, but I hate the main character. The writing is cheesy and predictable. It's an easy read, but the whole book was pretty forgettable.

Not as Intriguing as the First book
Is there anything you would change about this book?
I wish Mare would have been a little less whiny about her circumstances. It felt like most of the chapters were like this and I found it somewhat hard to get through.
If you’ve listened to books by Victoria Aveyard before, how does this one compare?
I have only read the first book in this series by her, I really enjoyed that book. However, after reading this one I am unsure if I will be willing to finish this series.
What does Amanda Dolan bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
She's a decent narrator, however, I don't think she should try to narrate books with so many different characters. I found it difficult to distinguish between them a lot of the time.
