As you may already know, tomorrow is a pretty big day for the YA fandom!!! And do you know why? On February 9 (tomorrow) the sequel to the New York Times Bestseller Red Queen, Glass Sword!!!
If you haven't already red the first one, here's a synopsis provided by Wikipedia.
The story is set in a fantasy world where human beings are divided based on the colour of their blood. The "ordinary" people have red blood and those with "abilities" have silver blood. These silver-blooded are referred to as "Silvers" and are the ruling elite. Silvers severely oppress the red-blooded commoners referred to as "Reds".
A series of events results in the discovery of a seventeen-year-old Red girl with abilities named Mare. The royal family hides the truth about her lineage and proclaims her as one of their own, a Silver accidentally raised as a Red. Oppression of the Reds leads to a rebellion (the Scarlet Rebellion) and the rise of revolutionaries, lead by Reds. The Silvers and Reds clash and the main character, Mare, is caught in between. Both sides want to use her to their advantage and she struggles internally as she tries to decide what to do to keep her family alive without completely changing and going against what she believes to be right.
Now, introducing Glass Sword, the highly anticipated sequel!
WARNING! SLIGHT SPOILER!!!
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?
