Rezension(1): " Victoria Aveyard was born and raised in East Longmeadow, Massachusetts, a small town known only for the worst traffic rotary in the continental United States. She moved to Los Angeles to earn a BFA in screenwriting at the University of Southern California. She currently splits her time between the East and West coasts. As an author and screenwriter, she uses her career as an excuse to read too many books and watch too many movies. " Rezension(2): "School Library Journal:Aveyard certainly has a flair for the dramatic... The action hits the ground running and doesn't stop until after the last page is turned." Rezension(3): "Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA):Fast-paced and action packed, Glass Sword is compelling and strong, guaranteed to gratify anxious readers of the series and fans of dystopian and fantasy literature." Rezension(4): "School Library Journal:Breakneck pace and engaging characters." Rezension(5): "Bulletin of the Center for Children’, Books: [Aveyard] sets her audience up for a gaspworthy twist that reconfigures nearly every character's role and leaves Mare with no one to trust but herself... This blend of fantasy and dystopia will be an unexpected and worthy addition to many genre fans' reading list." Rezension(6): "Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA):Fascinating world building... Readers will be intrigued by a world that reflects today's troubling issues concerning ethnic inequality, unfair distribution of wealth, pollution, warfare, political corruption, and the frightening power of the media." Rezension(7): "〈a href=http://www.dogobooks.com/glass-sword-red-queen/book-review/0062310666 target=_blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/dogobooks_logo.jpg alt=DOGO Books border=0 /〉〈/a〉:blueskie - Seems very interesting. I saw this book at my book fair and i saw the trailer and I was like it might be great to read a book once in a daily life.Especially something I never read before.I wi will it be good or just fatal.I will see!! : (" Rezension(8): "〈a href=http://www.publishersweekly.com target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/pw_logo.png alt=Publisher's Weekly border=0 /〉〈/a〉: April 25, 2016 In this startling follow-up to her debut, Aveyard sends readers hurtling back into the world of Red Queen with a fierce battle scene, reunions with old friends, and a story arc fraught with deception and betrayal. The powerful Silvers continue their reign, but the Red rebellion is rising, led by Mare Barrow. She plans to track down other mutant ",ewbloods",like herself to form an army capable of defeating the crown. Collecting newbloods is dangerous work, and the death toll mounts in a race against King Maven, a manipulative man who is slaughtering the mutants in a bid to force Mare back under his control. The story exposes painful truths about real-life bias and bigotry as well as the brutal costs of war, and children are not always spared gruesome fates. At the epicenter, Mare is an exquisitely flawed heroine who at times gives into her basest desires for revenge, raising questions about her own morality and revealing striking similarities to Queen Elara, whom she so despises. A cliffhanger finale should leave fans anxiously awaiting the next installment. Ages 13â,€up. Agent: Suzie Townsend, New Leaf Literary &,Media. "
