War Storm (Red Queen, #4)

by Victoria Aveyard

The #1 New York Times bestselling Red Queen series comes to a stunning conclusion in War Storm.

VICTORY COMES AT A PRICE.

Mare Barrow learned this all too well when Cal’s betrayal nearly destroyed her. Now determined to protect her heart—and secure freedom for Reds and newbloods like her—Mare resolves to overthrow the kingdom of Norta once and for all . . . starting with the crown on Maven’s head.

But no battle is won alone, and before the Reds may rise as one, Mare must side with the boy who broke her heart in order to defeat the boy who almost broke her. Cal’s powerful Silver allies, alongside Mare and the Scarlet Guard, prove a formidable force. But Maven is driven by an obsession so deep, he will stop at nothing to have Mare as his own again, even if it means demolish everything—and everyone—in his path.

War is coming, and all Mare has fought for hangs in the balance. Will victory be enough to topple the Silver kingdoms? Or will the little lightning girl be forever silenced?

In the epic conclusion to Victoria Aveyard’s stunning series, Mare must embrace her fate and summon all her power . . . for all will be tested, but not all will survive.

Wow...I'm a ball of emotions and don't know what to say. That was intense and crazy. Those battle scenes were nuts...so vivid I felt like I was watching a movie in my head! Awesome. We finally finally get Cal and Maven POVs!! Though I had hoped Cal's POV would be a bit more than it was. We only got one chapter and I wish we could have seen more of him. I also have to say that Evangeline really grew on me in this book. She was painted as such a villain in the earlier books but we really got to know her and I actually really liked her. As for the Cal/Mare tension....I kept rooting for them and I get why they each thought what they were doing was for the best, but ugh! So difficult! And the ending...I'm pretty disappointed with the ending. I'm a sucker for HEAs and when I don't get it I feel really unfulfilled. The ending didn't feel like the end of a series and more like the end of a book. Still great, but just not what I would have liked to have seen. I'm so invested in all these characters, I'm so sad the series is over.
