Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard
It was interesting premise. People with silver blood can do magic. People with red blood cannot. The red blood people are basically slaves to the ruling Silver blood elite. That all changes when Mare Barrow, a red blood, discovers she has powers. She was on the way to die at the front in a war with their northern neighbor when she is given a job at the palace. She is also is in league with the rebellious reds who want more freedom from their Red compatriots.
There is a lot going on. At first you think it's medieval. But then you realize people have electricity and devices. Strong hints that it is our world many years in the future after some cataclysm.
I'm unsure if I will read any more of these books.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
