I just bought the whole Red Queen saga without knowing a thing of what it is about. Did I make a mistake or a wonderful choice?

Totally depends on your preference of novels. Personally I found it MEH. it was similar to other dystopian books I have read that I was bored. But many love it

I liked the first one, but the second book was torture to read. It made me not purchase the rest. It’s one of those series you love or hate.

Some people really liked the whole series…so I hope you do! Personally, only the first book was good. Never bothered with book 4.

It’s a favorite series of mine. A lot of people think it’s too full of tropes but I still like it ❤️

I did the same thing. Read book one. I liked it. I’ll finish it. But not by audio because all characters and thoughts have the same voice and it’s frustrating. But reading it via ebook went much better.

I haven’t read it but they are a series I would buy based on the beautiful covers. So I wouldn’t be too worried. You’ll either enjoy it or if not you can always regift them to someone and then you won’t regret having bought them. ??‍♀️

these books suck. You should have bought only one first to see if you like it. You might just have wasted your money. I hated the first one and won’t be reading the rest. I just read the spoilers on the internet. They are trash

I listened to the audiobook version for the whole series and I wasn’t a huge fan. I liked the plot but I think the narration ruined it for me. I plan on buying the set and reading them, I think I might actually enjoy it more. Overall, I think you’ll enjoy the story. ?

@Ann I liked book 1, okay with book 2, and then it all went downhill. I DNF’d the 3rd book. In other words, I agree

For me, the first book was good but then, the second was fine and then, the third for me started good but as I kept reading I found myself telling that I was almost finish so I don’t put it aside. And with the last one, I cannot say I like it, not the whole book and not that ending, I’m hoping it’ll get better with the novela coming

The last one bombed? I found my copy in a thrift store for two dollars a week after the release. Guess I should have known….

Well, I do that a lot. I buy whole series without even reading it first. If I see people loving a series so much and that series has a good rating, I buy it. Sometimes I regret it.
I liked the first three books of Red Queen just fine. It was a good read. But the last book didn’t live up to my expectations.

I loved the first book, obsessed really. Although I haven’t read the rest of the series so idk I hope not. Or we both made the same mistake ?

I say read them and form your own opinions. I frequently read things that others say weren’t any good and loved the book or series. If I had listened to everybody I would have missed out on some amazing books.

A lot of people like those books and a lot of people don’t. Personally I didn’t… The first book was good but then the other books just got boring and I hated the characters by the time the final book came around. I didn’t even finish the last book
But it’s up to you to form your own opinions ? you might like the series haha

If you do end up liking the series (which I hope you do!) there is a companion book for the series coming out in May! https://www.amazon.com/Broken-Throne-Red-Queen-Collection/dp/0062423029/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1550950294&sr=8-1&keywords=broken+throne

In my opinion, you made a mistake because I hate the series. The first two were ok I guess but the third one was one of the most boring book I have ever read. But to each their own, you might really like it 🙂
