That's how I saw the two - but I think Red Rising (and Golden Son) were so fresh in my mind. <br /><br />And to be honest, I would NEVER have thought "love triangle", except that I saw someone else throw around the phrase when talking about this book. This was BEFORE I read this book... so I went into the book thinking, here we go with the love triangle (hence my lack of knowledge about the book, and low expectations). I am so glad that person is wrong :D<br /><br />I hope we enjoy book two! ^_^Alyssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00128004483437247740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3634501776293792112.post-9627667392854229872015-01-07T00:12:57.915-05:002015-01-07T00:12:57.915-05:00I hope you love it!

Don't be worried about the romance at all - it takes care of itself at the very end of the book (in a very good way, in my opinion).

To me, Red Queen is more about fantasy and even paranormal traits than the brutal-sci-fi,-fantasy of Red Rising. <br /><br />I know what you're saying about the romance, to be honest there is no triangle, but they are not allowed to love whomever they want either. I can't wait for the next book :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02217995773961682662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3634501776293792112.post-85198977327261529012015-01-06T15:25:18.335-05:002015-01-06T15:25:18.335-05:00Aw, yay :D Amazing review Alyssa. <3 Now I'...Aw, yay :D Amazing review Alyssa. <3 Now I'm more excited about reading my print ARC of this one, lol :) A part of the international blog tour in February. <3 I'm so glad you enjoyed this book so much sweetie. I'm just worried about the romance, sigh. I didn't like what I peeked at ages ago, though I can't remember their names :p Still. I hope it won't be too bad :) makes me happy you thought it wasn't a big deal.
