She's egotistical, angry, and cruel, calling her best friend 'nothing' and constantly ruminating about her superiority as the 'lightning girl.' She immaturely swings from suspicious to hateful to disappointed in everyone and lives by the oft-repeated motto, 'Anyone can betray anyone.' Mare, now fully aware of her powers, is extremely unlikable in this installment. Overall I think it is a good book and u should read it but it could've done with a few changesįirst-person stories rely on the protagonist evolving, just as sequels must balance action and plot, and on both counts this installment fails to live up to its predecessor. I also enjoyed how mare improved some friendships but also put quite a few behind her but by the end of the story she is a completely different person but not in a good way which I didn't enjoy. It does get quite violent at some points and the description gets quite gruesome but its fine. Moving on to the good things i enjoyed the ending very much but leaves you on a big cliff hanger so make sure u have the next book with u. Another thing was there was never a time to breath it was always straight on to another major thing in the story which could get annoying as u would want to process one thing before moving on. Also mare in this book has changed a lot from red queen and her personality is completely different and pushes away quite a few of the main characters. As I really enjoyed red queen I naturally wanted to read glass sword I found it very quick to action and got straight to the plot but it didn't include much character development and because there was quite a few new characters in this story we could of done with some more detail.
