3.5 stars

I had a difficult relationship with this book. While I enjoyed the plot a lot, I couldn't get into the writing or most characters. I really thought I'd end up giving this book 3 stars but that last part kept me from it. I couldn't bring myself to give this book a lower rating, it felt unjust.

I'll start with Cal and Shade who are the only characters I really like in this book. Shade is my favorite. He's funny, sweet and caring. It's not hard to see why he's the favorite sibling in th ...more

Um livro com o qual eu estava bastante entusiasmada, por ter gostado bastante do anterior. O que acontece é que a maior parte das vezes em que me sinto assim, as expectativas saiem goradas... E foi o que aconteceu. Achei que andou muito a marcar passo, não avançava e coitadinha da protagonista, tipo Calimero, ninguém gosta de mim... Enfim, safa-se o final, que a autora muito inteligentemente escreveu de forma a deixar.nos em pulgas para saber como a protagonista se vai safar da situação. Como ta ...more

I’ve read this book at the end of August and, a month later, I barely remember the story. That’s not good is it?
Glass Sword is the book that follows Red Queen and, even though I liked the first book and I had hoped that this one would be even better, it stayed below my expectations.

This is the second book of the red queen series, and since i love the first one i was bothr afraid and excited for this....

here we see Mare and Cal after the incidents on the first book, and see their reunion with the scarlet guard and all the people Mare is trying to save. We see also the struggle that Cal is in, he is a silver and do not want to hurt his people, but at the same time he wants to help and protect Mare.....
The "love" between this two is complicated since the begging of the first ...more

Desapontada é pouco.

Uma história completamente desaproveitada. Tornou-se aborrecida e demasiada repetitiva, no que toca aos problemas colocados pela personagem principal. A dualidade vivida por ela torna-se cansativa, aliás ao fim de algumas páginas não há paciência para ler as mesmas perguntas e as mesmas questões vezes sem conta.

A relação entre as personagens é.. quase.. inexistente diria eu..
O final.. ok surpreendeu um pouco mas nem isso consigo considerar como um grande final.
