Ines | 73 comments I would love to know what people thought about the series as I have liked the books since I started reading them, but I know there is a lot of controversy around the characters and I think its really interesting to hear different peoples opinions. Or even just comments about a scene you found interesting, it could be anything really I would just love to hear your thoughts!


Luna (luna13) | 93 comments I love this series! Well, I haven't completed it but I really like it so far.

May I ask what the controversies surrounding them are? (Unless they're spoilers).


Ines | 73 comments I’ve seen lots of arguments about whether characters where completely bad/evil and completely to blame for their actions. As I don’t know how far you’ve read I don’t know what I can and can’t spoil, but a lot of arguments come from mavens character and whether other people could have helped him or prevented him from becoming so evil.

I've re-read the series 9 times and am now on my 10th, I feel like Victoria Avayard made the characters in such a way that they felt real as they all had their flaws and none of them were perfect


Brooke W (thereadersgame) | 4214 comments 9!
I wish I had the time! The only character I didn't like that wasn't a Mendarus was Mare in Glass Sword *wheeze*

If you haven't read Glass Sword and King's Cage then i'm just going to say, have War Storm ready, its an emotional rollercoaster. Trust me


Nash (all too unwell) (iambecomeabladee_n) | 8087 comments War storm literally crushed my heart


Nash (all too unwell) (iambecomeabladee_n) | 8087 comments But I was soo happy it did lol

sabrina i read part of the series back in middle school and re-read it over quarantine, honestly it was just as good as i remembered it. to anyone who isn’t motivated to finish pls do it for evangelines character arc.
also one of my fav scenes was in (war storm?) when mare straight up ignored cal in that discussion room after he chose the crown over her lol.


theaddictedbookworm I’ve relatively recently picked up Red Queen and honestly fell in love with the, the countless plot twists, great writing of the world/character, and semi-love triangle, I was hooked. But now as I’ve started the 2nd book in the series I have found myself stuck. It’s not that the novel itself is bad or anything, for me personally I just get so wrapped up in the characters and books I’m reading, and as I hear/learn more about the controversies my desire to read became less and less powerful and I’m afraid now I’m just at a stand still with this series. Not completely shut away and done but don’t see myself picking up the sequel again anytime soon.
