Steel Scars
by Victoria Aveyard
In Steel Scars by Victoria Aveyard, Farley’s story comes to light. Farley is introduced in [b:Red Queen|22328546|Red Queen (Red Queen, #1)|Victoria Aveyard|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1449778912s/22328546.jpg|25037051] as the leader of the rebellion against the silver leaders. I knew there had to be more to her story, especially after that ending, and I was right! While I personally wasn’t thrilled with this story, I felt like it gives some important background information that hints at what to expect in [b:Glass Sword|23174274|Glass Sword (Red Queen, #2)|Victoria Aveyard|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1436460934s/23174274.jpg|42720997].
Farley’s character is a little dry. She was raised to be a soldier, a part of this rebellion against Silvers, and her whole life, her motives, everything revolves around being the perfect soldier. When she gets a secret mission to infiltrate Norta and begin to plant the seeds of rebellion, she jumps on the task. However she doesn’t follow orders to the letter. She makes her own judgment calls, brining in new recruits who are Nortan.
One particular recruit that I was shocked and excited to see was Shade Barrow, Mare’s older brother. He’s got an odd sense of humor and this ability to either move really fast or teleport. I’m unclear on the specifics. Either way he becomes an invaluable informant to Farley and the cause. His only request is to help his sister if she can.
The entire novella alternates from army communication with code names and the whole bit to short narratives from Farley’s POV. It was a bit hard for me to follow if I’m being completely honest. Farley didn’t hold my attention like Shade did and she was kind of boring. However the story itself is enough to make me like it! It adds some great background to what is going on in Norta and hints at what is to come. If you enjoy the series, I wouldn’t skip this one!
