She forces her to act as a long-lost Silver princess to hide the fact that she really is Red. Her ability accidentally gets broadcasted on live TV, and the Queen, afraid that the realization that Reds can have abilities will undermine their entire society, takes Mare in. The story follows Mare, a Red girl who finds out she can control lightning, an impossibility that shouldn’t exist. They make up the ruling class, and are similar to the people who live in the Capitol in “The Hunger Games.” And then there are Silver-blooded people, whose blood gives them special abilities, such as the power to control fire or water. The lower class is made up of people with Red blood, who are normal, underpaid citizens just barely living above poverty. The books take place in a society divided by blood status. The series is more or less a combination of “The Hunger Games” and “Avatar: The Last Airbender.” There are only so many ways you can write about an unlikely hero who somehow gets put in charge of a rebellion to overthrow a corrupt government. So when I heard about Victoria Aveyard’s “Red Queen” series, I was a little skeptical. From Veronica Roth’s “Divergent” to James Dashner’s “The Maze Runner,” it seems like a new dystopian series is being targeted towards young adult readers every week. Since the release of “The Hunger Games” in 2008, dystopian novels have been a dime a dozen. The series is more or less a combination of “The Hunger Games” and “Avatar: The Last Airbender.” ()
