Review: War Storm (Red Queen #4) by Victoria Aveyard


 

It's all out war in the fourth and final volume of the Red Queen series.

Cal is ready to be king, as he was born and raised to be.  Backed by various noble houses who were betrayed by his mad brother Maven, and by his powerful aunt Anabel, he feels he can win the war and restore the kingdom.

He also has a tenuous but key alliance with the Scarlet Guard.  They're essential to his successful plans.

What Cal doesn't understand, but Mare does, is that the Scarlet Guard may help defeat the forces of Maven and the Lakelanders, but they have no plans to allow Cal or anyone else to take the throne. The Scarlet Guard's plan is to make the world over in the image of distant Montfort. 

Montfort which is a democracy of sorts, operating much like a military outpost of the old, forgotten United States of America.

Let the blood flow, Silver and Red alike.

War Storm is a fitting finale to the Red Queen series.
