Mood

        The moods that are in my book is suspense, sorrow, and anger. This story is very mysterious with lots of plot twists and the main characters are trying to survive, but they can't trusts anybody. It is suspenseful because Mare's brother Shade is alive, her other brother Bree betrayed her trust by trying to turn her and Cal over to the ruthless king. There is sorrow because of that betrayal and the knowing of the many Red and Silver soldiers laying dead on the previous battlefield, the only ones that are probably going to have a proper furnaral are the Silvers. Anger is a very strong emotion for this series because it is exactly what the main character, Mare, is feeling. She thinks she killed herself, the one who used to live in the Red villages with her family before everything turned upside down. She killed Mareena, the Silver princess she was disguising to be during the time she lived in the royal castle. Now, she is just the "lightning girl." "Anyone can betray anyone." "Tell me I haven't walked into another trap." "No, not wounded, dead." "What a world that will be, with a monster for its king, and his mother holding his leash." "We seem weak because we want to."

Summarize

        So far, in my book, the main character and her companions escaped the surprise attack in Naercey, lead by the ruthless new king, Maven. Shade, Kilorn, and Mare were separated from their original group, and they had to run to find cover from the attacking soldiers that were invading their secret base and safe haven. Shade had been shot with clean bullets, Cal was set free from his chains to fight firer with fire, and Mare helped by using her lightning to attack the new found enemies. Farley directed them out of the battle, and they all jumped off a cliff and landed on an underwater boat. After waking up in another strange place, Mare tries to find her brother to see how's he doing from the bullet wounds. Kilorn directs her to her brother and they find out that they are heading North, to another base. Farley, the captain of the Scarlet Guard, agrees on finding the newbloods, people just like Mare and Shade, and use them to create a powerful Ramey to take down Maven's throne.

Summarizing

        The story that I am now reading is called Glass Sword by Victoria Aveyard. I'm only three pages into the second chapter--in the exposition of the book. So far I have learned that Cal, Mare and the Scarlet Guard, are what the king calls "criminals," and they are trying to run away from the kingdom to a safe place to stay temporarily. The characters are trying to stay alive while there are missils and guns firing at them from right to left. The new king is ruthless and blood thirsting for Red blood and Silver power, and Mare and her friends will try to do everything to stop him.
