Imperfections on the hardcovers, but a FANTASTIC series.
I never know whether these reviews are supposed to be about the product condition themselves or the actual story, so for this, I'm rating the book series.I’m a sucker for book covers. So when I saw Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard, with its pearly-white background and upturned silver crown with blood spilling down it, I was intrigued. And when I found out it was part of a YA fantasy series, I was even more intrigued.What I love about the Red Queen series is how built-out the world is. It isn’t just about a teenage girl who finds out she has never-before-seen power, or about the complicated love triangle (love diamond?) between her and other major characters. It’s about the politics—the conflicts among expansive Silver kingdoms—and the social injustices against the Reds, humans who have been pulverized beneath the boots of all-powerful Silvers.This especially resonates with the state of the world today. Given the horrible events that have taken place here recently in the United States with the murder of George Floyd and countless other black Americans, I believe any fictional story that calls out discrimination and inequity—whether it be race, gender, sexual orientation, ageism—is worthy and necessary to remedy the generational misthinking that has propagated since the earliest civilizations.In Red Queen, Victoria Aveyard seamlessly weaves in the history and bloodshed of the Red versus Silver conflict. I rated the series 5 stars as it had everything I could ever want in a YA fantasy series: romance, political intrigue, themes of social injustice, and a tragic villain I couldn't get enough of.

Good story, great quality set!
I bought this set when it went on sale. I had the first book in paperback, I got it when I was a teenager but I never got a chance to get the rest of the series. Now that I have adult money, I buy whatever I want and this was one of them.I prefer the hardcover as they are sturdier and won’t be easily destroyed. With my on-the-go lifestyle, I carry books with me apart from having digital copies. This series is not only a good read but the covers are gorgeous! Perfect for a bookworms trophy shelf 😉

Favorite for my granddaughter
My granddaughter like to read fantasy style books and I like that she reads books so these where a gift. She enjoys the author’s other books and that why I ordered these books. Came in a boxed set and was packed well.
