Victoria Aveyard was born and raised in East Longmeadow, Massachusetts, a small town known only for the worst traffic rotary in the continental United States. She moved to Los Angeles to earn a BFA in screenwriting at the University of Southern California. She currently splits her time between the East and West coasts. As an author and screenwriter, she uses her career as an excuse to read too many books and watch too many movies.Find out more at www.victoriaaveyard.com or follow her on Twitter @VictoriaAveyard
An incredible start to an electrifying new series . . . Red Queen
is a fantastic debut which makes me extremely enthusiastic about
the rest of the books to come . . . If you're going to pick up a
book, pick this one up
*THE GUARDIAN ONLINE*
A whirlwind of betrayal and plot twists
*SCI-FI NOW*
It's slick, it's interesting and ... gripping
*SFX*
All hail Victoria Aveyard - the new Queen of dystopian fiction.
*THE GUARDIAN CHILDRENS BOOKS*
Red Queen is a clever blend of The Hunger Games, The Selection,
Graceling and Divergent
*STARBURST*
Unique and amazing . . . filled with twists and turns throughout.
I'd definitely recommend this book to anyone as it is a great read
and I can't wait for the sequel to be released.
*THEGUARDIAN.COM*
In Red Queen Victoria Aveyard has delivered a clever, slick and
compelling debut. The dystopian novel will please fans of The
Hunger Games but uses a supernatural twist to explore the theme of
social injustice
*We Love This Book*
Red Queen... Where do I start? As I sit here after closing the book
just this second, with a shocked, enthralled, amazed brooding look
on my face I think its safe to say that this book has royally
floored me... If you're having hangovers over the Divergent series,
or having withdrawal symptoms from the Hunger Games then this is
the book that will get you out of that funk
*DARK READERS*
Trust us when we say that it will have you up late at night trying
to finish the next chapter, next page, next line - or maybe the
whole thing because this book is impossible to put down.
*MAXIMUM POP!*
Aveyard weaves a compelling new world, and Mare and the two men in
her life evolve intriguingly as class tension rises. Revolution
supersedes romance, setting the stage for action-packed surprises.
An inventive, character-driven twist breathes new life into tired
fantasy trends.
*KIRKUS*
A wonderful mash up of Ancient Rome and Marie Antoinette with a
dash of Catherine Fisher's Incarceron and Ridley Scott's Gladiator,
not to mention some of Marvel Comic's box of tricks . . . Exciting
and original
*Sam Hawksmoor, author of the Repossession Trilogy*
Victoria Aveyard is a genuinely good writer... a dark gripping book
that grips and surprises the reader
*THE BOOKBAG*
This is the first book I read in 2015 and I'm glad I began the year
with a book outside my comfort zone because I truly, truly
enjoyed.
*EMMALOUBOOKBLOG*
I enjoyed this book immensely... the plot of the book was well
executed, the twists creeped up on me slowly but surely. The
atmosphere Aveyard created was perfect
*BOOKSFORBIRDS*
Red Queen simply blew me away... an exquisite debut from Aveyard,
usually it takes a few books for an author to become a favourite,
but Aveyard has managed to become a favourite with just one
book
*The Readers Den*
Red Queen is a debut bursting with betrayal, jealousy, love and
rebellion and it's fantastic. YA fantasy is really on the up at the
moment and Victoria Aveyard is going to be one of the leaders of
the pack
*SO LITTLE TIME FOR BOOKS*
A fantastic debut, with a perfect balance of epic, action filled
scenes, cunning characters, mystery and a creative plot, RED QUEEN
is a definite favourite and I cannot wait for more from this
author
