The Pen and Inkpot

I have been told that this novel is just a copy of Divergent and other dystopian novels but I found it not so similar. The vague idea is the same, but once you actually read the novel, you will find it is not like Divergent at all. Red Queen was interesting and entertaining yet predictable and frustrating at times. Mare Barrow has been cursed with red blood and lives in a town of fellow Reds. She steals to provide for her family while her sister basks in success at an apprenticeship. Those with silver blood rule over the reds with their special powers, sending them to fight the war and watch displays of Silver strength. Mare knows that she has only made things worse for her family, but when she meets a stranger on the streets, suddenly her world gets flipped around. Being a royal is not easy though, and power is a game in which no one can be trusted.  (May contain vague spoilers) The storyline is entertaining and the idea is well mapped out. The plot goes very deep and
