Red Queen (Red Queen, #1)

by Victoria Aveyard

This was a tricky one to rate. The premise of the book is a good one, but the main character really ruined it for me. Every detail of the book is followed by her own thoughts... And they get annoying fast.
Don't get me wrong, I like a book who can give me the inner thoughts of a character, but Mare was a Debbie-downer.
It felt a little like this:

I should use my powers..... oh but I can't. I tried last time and it didn't work. It probably never will. I'm a complete failure.

No one likes me. I don't even like myself. I'm not worthy of anything. Ever.

And this goes on repetitively, over and over, she re-hashes what she already hashed a million times on why she couldn't do something.

But I kept reading.
Overall, I was not impressed. This book was just mediocre to me.
