Mare Barrow is a prisoner, powerless without her lightning, tormented by her lethal mistakes. She lives at the mercy of a boy she once loved, a boy made of lies and betrayal. Now a king, Maven Calore continues weaving his dead mother's web in an attempt to maintain control over his country - and his prisoner. As Mare bears the weight of Silent Stone in the palace, her once-ragtag band of newbloods and Reds continue organizing, training, and expanding. They prepare for war, no longer able to linger in the shadows.

Roshar is a world of stone and storms. Uncanny tempests of incredible power sweep across the rocky terrain so frequently that they have shaped ecology and civilization alike. Animals hide in shells, trees pull in branches, and grass retracts into the soilless ground. Cities are built only where the topography offers shelter. It has been centuries since the fall of the 10 consecrated orders known as the Knights Radiant, but their Shardblades and Shardplate remain: mystical swords and suits of armor.

Giver Goes Green

By: Ally Condie
Publisher's Summary
The electrifying next installment in the Red Queen series escalates the struggle between the growing rebel army and the blood-segregated world they've always known - and pits Mare against the darkness that has grown in her soul.
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?

Ugh!! Can't finish
Am I in the minority? The first book was pretty good but this one was painful. I kept trying to listen but once I went days without any desire to listen I decided to give up.

It started slow but ended with a bang!
I waited months before I finally decided to listen to Glass Sword due to all the negative reviews and typical 2nd book bashing. I must admit it did start out a little slow, but as the book progressed it became more and more exciting. This book takes a little more time to develop the main characters which makes their choices a little more believable and authentic. There were many new characters introduced very quickly in the middle of the story, which I found confusing and a bit distracting. Other reviewers have said this book reads like an action movie and I would agree with that analogy. Of course this book has a huge cliffhanger (no surprise there) but knowing King's Cage will be released in a few months takes a little sting out of it for me.

I loved this audiobook
I eat these stories up, so when I heard some buzz about this being a great series, I had to check it out! I'm so glad I did. It was a well written, well performed story of a girl who doesn't know how strong she was until she had the choice to fight or run.
I loved the twists and turns, I thought the story was going to play out in one direction, and then BAM it went a different way. Then again after that another twist and then another! This book was well worth the credit.
Happy reading!

Depressing and Slow
What disappointed you about Glass Sword?
I loved the first book so I was very excited to read this. I was so disappointed. The main character kept reminding you of how miserable she is and how terrible of a person she is. The story was slow and depressing. It felt like a "middle" book. Just a filler for the finale.
What was most disappointing about Victoria Aveyard’s story?
It moved way too slow and was too depressing.
What three words best describe Amanda Dolan’s voice?
This takes more than three words. I didn't mind her voice, but I agree with other reviewers, she mispronounces certain words that annoys me. She also narrates in a strange way. However, I blame it mostly on the story, not the narrator.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Painful
Any additional comments?
I have not decided if I will bother with the last book. Even though this one ends on a cliffhanger, I will read reviews by others before deciding if the next one is worth it. This was just too hard to get through for me.

Not quite the page turner I hoped
I enjoyed the Red Queen and was looking forward to the sequel. While enjoyed the overall story of Glass Sword I found the writing style slightly disappointing. Usually the writing improves as a series progresses but in this case it was quite the opposite. I found that an enormous amount of time was spent explaining erroneous details like trees in the woods or people in the streets that would last for pages. In contrast things like fight scenes left you wanting more. There was also very little dialogue among characters and to much time spent inside Mare's head. The writing style unfortunately made want to give up on the story multiple times even though I was interested in the outcome.

Frustrating
The first book was pretty good so I was excited to start this one, but i grew to hate every single character. The overall plot would probably be good if it were half the length. The dialog was interrupted by pointless dramatic inside voice and the story didn't feel like it even started until half way through the book.

This would be a great blockbuster movie! It's got action, romance and people with abilities, what's not to like. It's like Divergent meets x-men meets Cinderella. I really can't wait until the next book comes out.

Painful.
I finished this audio because I had listened to the previous book, which was pretty OK. This one was all repetitive, reciting the first book to help newbies understand the second, but she'd repeat the same background info over and over ad nauseam. The author tells you what to feel instead of walking you through the emotions themselves. And often what she tells you to feel is at odds with what the story itself makes you feel. Painful. Unrelatable.

uhhh i really tried
story: 1.5/5
There are some good (like okay and decent) moments that I thought had created to book more potential to move forward. But I seriously don't think this series is worth any of the hype it has been getting.
Mare is just dull, there is no character development really with anyone ever. Many new characters were brought into the book but then they didn't add that much to anything either.
Almost everything that happened had been really cliche and predictable, just like it was in the first book. I enjoyed the first book enough to give the second book a try and oh, it took me way to long to finish this book. I considered not finishing it because it was just so hard to keep moving forward with it. But I just told myself maybe it will have an amazing ending that would make me want to go for the third book. Eh, I didn't really find it. MAYBE if I really, really have nothing else to read, I will go for the third book, but as of right now, there are too many books out there that I want to try than wasting my time trying to dig through a series I don't enjoy that much.

Left me wanting more!
If you could sum up Glass Sword in three words, what would they be?
Action, engaging, cliff hanger
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Its hard to believe some reviewers found this book slow and boring, I thought the story moved along nicely and was engaging. The only bad thing about this book is it ended on a cliff hanger and there is no next book to get! This book introduces the new bloods and their trying to navigate all they encounter while trying to decide what to do with this new found power of the silver/red blood hybrids. I really want to know what happens in the next book!
