Last month, YA author Victoria Aveyard set out on a seven-city tour in honor of the release of War Storm, the final installment of her bestselling Red Queen series. Aveyard joined a number of fellow writers in a series of events, which drew crowds of more than 200 fans. The celebration kicked off on May 15, the day of the book’s release, at DIESEL in Santa Monica, Calif., and wrapped up on the 21st at Literati Bookstore in Ann Arbor, Mich. We’ve gathered a selection of photos, highlighting memorable moments from the tour.
