Red Queen At High Noon

Ariel O'Suilleabhain

Updated: Jun 4, 2023


This very good fiction book may help you pre-teens and teenagers of the modern globe to better understand the way that humans all over the universe, or in this case the earth part of that celestial charm of God creation divide by blood. The futuristic world of the Red Queen as we happily dwell upon a pool of another dystopian planet book for a glorious summer of that - a world divided by blood that runs red which when wounded shows that you are a commoner or bleeds silver for royalty. Victoria Aveyard seems to uncover that crime against young adults of a violent nature may happen because A Silver or a royal one which simply means someone who has been handed that kind of power to do such may abuse that power - albeit as the book reveals and through purposeful juvenile misperception on the part of the adults of the kingdom, The Silvers play a game of power and don't even seem to care that they got it wrong.


Through this book, and many a teenager has seen the adults of the world around them while the teenagers doing right themselves watch adults getting overly wrapped up out there floating around upon a shooting star of self-adventure, and the fun of world pleasures. While many a teenager is just left hanging to fend for and teach themselves as adults behave as teenagers and the teens are expected to be already full grown, physical appearance may often fail to reflect how a young adult really feels or where they are at on the road to maturity. A life raft named God hears each word you say though and each tear that falls and is ready to hold you with that hug on the inside, a place where humans don't go.


Flash forward to perhaps five-hundred or so years into the future and adults who played too much failed to evolve and grow up. Now children and young adults are drafted as soldiers and sent off to the wars going on in the world. Welcome to earth during this future time. Our planet has come to the place of the time all of earth's bible prophesies foretold about. Did anyone bother to read it? Too late now, for this is a world that has no time and no regard for all of that stuff. The idle hours you had to pray, memorize and download your instructions for comfort, coping and decision making and impactual abilities for the good of all of the humans of the earth has passed and the information erased or hidden.


But is there still hope yet? Is there time for the teenagers of this future world to save their world? Are they able to turn things around? Is there a chance for that, or are they just doomed to accept that the planet has become a place where valid disagreements are handled only by anger, jealousy, revenge and selfishness and violence? Are the children of Planet Earth just stuck in a sad Video Game? And just as the poverty ridden teenage heroine of our story who does all she can to do her share of to provide food, clothing and shelter to her mother and father and that household - she is oblivious to her true and real power. Although this is a world also where division by blood may seem to lessen the existence of the children of the world who do not own royal silver blood our heroine finds out that who silenced her no longer has power over her and through that she becomes empowered to soar through just a thought. She has scruples though and morals and because of her upbringing she knows better than to just run roughshod over others to obtain the profit of her destiny - she defies the code of future Planet Earth and becomes a true example of royal dignity. And what she finds out about her own power that she only thought others had over her astonishes her. She is able to think now and carry out her duties, for she has become empowered.


The plot I think I just gave away, so the story theme you know. But who are the characters of this trilogy of books? Prince Cal marries Evangeline. Although seventeen year old Mare Molly Barrow, the narrator and of the story seems one way to others, you may read the book on your own to find out what that really means. Her new job however as servant to the Royal Family brings her into contact with princes and a queen and other royalty. Getting that job may help her to escape the planetary child war effort draft. But she still has many challenges ahead. Remember, Future World is a place where children are responsible and adults behave as children. Therefore, in order to socialize themselves the children go along somewhat by the rules of The Silvers. But while nothing makes sense when The Silvers disobey their own rules of society - the main cast of teenage characters such as Prince Maven contrast the cast of poor teenagers of the book who work hard at jobs in order to avoid the war draft, a thing that comes on through teen idleness. But before you get upset about The Silvers doing this, remember that the author Victoria Aveyard was a millennial of your own when she published the book upon graduation from college. What was Aveyard trying to say to teenagers or young adults by what she wrote? Was she just showing you your world as it is today through a Utopia of failure and struggle. After all the book shows that stress among the commoners of the future kingdom here became so bad that the tips of our heroine's hair became white - which is actually a real scientific oxymoron which is related to way too much teenage stress.


Prince Maven said that he felt his kingdom, "A show to keep people happy. As a puppet." If you truly must parent yourself, which self-instructions produce what you need to best develop yourself? How can you make your corner of the world better by being yourself? You may not be able to help or change the adults around you to be better. And it doesn't help when some of those your age are conditioned by society to just not care. So, you can just go down another path and do something good - I know that you can think. If you are reading this, you know how to think. So it should be easy to imagine at least one good thing or more to change your life for the better. Something that is so good and nurturing that someday when you are out on your own you will be able to look back on it and be glad that you did this. Remember to do at least one good thing for you each day.


My seventh-grade guidance counselor assured me that shyness and independence and not being a part of the popular crowd would only help me more to be a prolific author who would really be able to see things as they are and would not be persuaded otherwise. Sometimes, talking to yourself isn't all bad. On the other hand if you are looking around for someone you can talk to at school or a therapist or adult that you know you can trust, these are the kinds of things that are one step further. Whether a teacher or even your principal if you don't have a guidance counselor. For example though, prayer and encouragement and support on the blog here comes free of charge. Please do not think about sending money for that. But please do be encouraged to ask for help when you need help.
