Story:
This is a world divided by blood – red or silver.
The Reds are commoners, ruled by a Silver elite in possession of god-like superpowers. And to Mare Barrow, a seventeen-year-old Red girl from the poverty-stricken Stilts, it seems like nothing will ever change.
That is, until she finds herself working in the Silver Palace. Here, surrounded by the people she hates the most, Mare discovers that, despite her red blood, she possesses a deadly power of her own. One that threatens to destroy the balance of power.
Fearful of Mare’s potential, the Silvers hide her in plain view, declaring her a long-lost Silver princess, now engaged to a Silver prince. Despite knowing that one misstep would mean her death, Mare works silently to help the Red Guard, a militant resistance group, and bring down the Silver regime.
But this is a world of betrayal and lies, and Mare has entered a dangerous dance – Reds against Silvers, prince against prince, and Mare against her own heart. (less)

My Opinion :
I loveeeeee love loveeee the book, i love how Mare the protagonis, changed from the lower class to a leader, and i love the intrigue about government, about the main idea silver and blood, about a power and physical things can divided people, and how Maven her fiance betray her, but somehow still very attached to her, and her feeling for both Cal the Prince and Maven, seems very humanly, it's feel like what we gonna choose in a real world if we was her, what she feel about her family and her friend and other people, not too heroic but still have the feeling, she want a revenge for her people, and it's look normal, because most people will do that if they already suffer the fate she have been through. but still they're prince, evil queen and all superhuman power, i love how she grouping people based on it's kind such as people who can control water they called it as Nymp, and another one who can control and see others mind they called Whisper, and the one who can control Iron the called as Magnetron etc. Like i said before the idea is not the first from it's kind but still very original and interesting
My Score: 8.5
