There was also a good pacing here and the Silver blood's powers were drawn neatly. The romance between Coriane and Tibe was sweet and raw, heartbreaking at times. I loved how the simple plotline surprisingly became extraordinarily beautiful in the end. There were no action scenes here but all the events were simply engaging. Once again I was amazed by how she was able to bring this story in an epic level. It's Victoria Aveyard's flawless and breathtaking writing style that made me embrace this novella. This led to conflicts and certain intrigues that tested Coriane's strength and belief while carrying her crown as a Queen. Her ordinary life changed when Prince Tibe, heir to the court of Norta, fell in love with her and asked her hand for marriage, which of course, became the reason why the traditional Queenstrial was never realized. She writes her life events in a dairy and conveys her emotions there. Coriane belongs to the Silver blood, under the House Jacos- a not-so-well-endowed clan compared to other Silver bloods.
Here, we are told about the backstory of Queen Coriane, the mother of Prince Cal from Red Queen. Queen Song is one of the novellas of Red Queen series. I’m sure it would make sense if I had more of a backstory to this backstory, but as of right now, I could have done without reading this."There is nothing so terrible as a story untold." Would I recommend:Īs I’ve yet to read Red Queen, I would say no.
There wasn’t enough substance to either of these for any one character to stand out. I just couldn’t follow anything, especially in Steel Scars. On Goodreads it shows that they are prequels to the Red Queen series, but I’m wondering if things would have made more sense to read them in order of publication. I wasn’t really a fan of either one of these stories. In Steel Scars we follow a Red, also a member of the Scarlet Guard, which seems to be a rebellion of some sorts fighting for the rights of the Red citizens. While Queen’s Song follows Coriane, a Silver, as she is pulled into the political world of a prince. This book contained two prequels to Red Queen, Queen’s Song and Steel Scars.
