Red Queen Book Report

My book is Red Queen. It is written by Victoria Aveyard. My favorite part in the book is at the end when Mare and Cal are sentenced to death. They are fighting people with powers. Cal’s power is fire. He can make little fireballs and hurl them at people. Mare’s power is lightning. You see, people who have powers need it already there for them to work with it. Like with Cal, his power is fire right? Well he need a spark to create something bigger. With Mare though she can just make lightning she doesn’t even need a thunderstorm to create deadly lightning bolts. She has RED blood, they have SILVER. Reds aren’t supposed to have powers, but she does. Strange ones at that.

Mare is from the Stilts. Their king is mean, and sends Reds to fight a
war that doesn’t even need to be fought. Mare’s three older brothers were sent to fight. Every time one left Mare and her sister each got an earring. Mare is a pickpocket. She steals so that she can get her little sister an earring when she leaves, so that she can remember her. One day they get a letter from one of Mare’s brothers. Her dad smells it, and can tell that he is out of the Choke. The Choke is a place where the smoke is relentless, and you can not breath worth a hoot. Shade had died.

When the Sentinels come to Mare’s house, she thinks they will be taking her away to fight in the war. Her mother cries, and her father and little sister’s faces are impassive. She leaves without a fight. When they arrive at the castle Mare is surprised that she isn’t going to fight the war in the Choke.There is a servant girl waiting for her to give her directions. As they walk Mare finds out that she is there to become a servant for the people she despises. The servant girl whispers in her ear to stay quiet, and never talk to anybody. The King and Queen are having the ceremony when their sons look at different girls with different powers, and decide which one they want to marry.

Mare is just doing her work silently while the last performer is on stage. Her name is Evangeline. Her power is controlling metal. She can throw a knife and make it hit the bullseye every time. When she starts moving the booth Mare is in, Mare gets thrown out through the front window. She goes flying straight to the electrified shield. When she hits the shields she expects to be burned to bits. When she does hit it though she just sits there, her clothes burning off. When she gets up Evangeline, and the whole crowd is looking at her like she some sort of alien. When she gets up Evangeline throws a knife at her. Mare dodges, and the knife barely misses her. Mare stands tall and braces. Then her hands form a little lightning ball. She throws it at Evangeline, but she moves just in time that it misses her.

Mare gets engaged to Maven.
If she makes any mistakes at all she will be killed, and a lie will be made up to cover their tracks. Mare joins a rebellion called the Scarlet Guard. Soon Maven joins too. When they go to attack the Capitol everything backfires. They get overthrown. When Mare gets captured she is captured with Cal, Maven’s brother. It turns out that Maven never actually joined the rebellion, but was planning a rebellion himself. When Mare and Cal are put on trial, Maven’s mother uses her power (she’s a whisper) to control Cal and make him kill the King. They have a video showing him doing this so that they will get sentenced to death. They are brought into the ring. They are up against five people, and Mare got her powers taken away. They fight, and they fight hard. They end up winning. Then a ton of Sentinels come in and there are probably like 500 of them. Mare backs up to the water well in the arena. The Rebellion comes up and shoots down all of them. The when Mare falls into the pit someone comes and saves her, but she’s unconscious. When she wakes up she’s in a train with Farley, and Cal. But someone is still holding onto her. She turns around, and there he is. Shade perfectly well, and alive. She decides she is going to kill Maven. That is my
report!
