Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard and Thrones & Bones: Frostborn by Lou Anders










Two great fantasies on the Golden Sower nominees list!  Red Queen is a fantastic, exciting read about a society where the color of your blood determines your lot in life.  Silver bloods rule in a god-like fashion because of their special powers.  But, now, there is Mare.  Mare is a red blood, but she has powers too.  Will she live long enough to save her kind?

Thrones and Bones: Frostborn is also about another world.  This one has two equally enthralling main characters each with their own strengths.  Karn doesn't want to be part of his families farming world, he wants to be left alone to play his favorite board game, Thrones and Bones.  Thianna wants to be a
full part of her world but because she is only 1/2 frost giant she is not always accepted.  The two meet and become thrust into a battle of wits and brawn to help both their families.

Both of these fantasies are exciting and easy to read because you are so anxious to see how they work themselves out.  The nice thing about both of them is that you will want  to read the 2nd one of each series, and, luckily for you, I have them both in the Irving library collection!!
