Red Queen

Teachers and parents! Our Teacher Edition on Red Queen makes teaching easy.
A Red not much older than Mare. Mare first meets Farley when Will Whistle introduces them. Farley agrees to smuggle Mare and Kilorn out of the Stilts and away from a sure fate of conscription, in exchange for a massive fortune. The next day, Mare sees Farley on a kingdom-wide broadcast, claiming credit on behalf of the Scarlet Guard for a terrorist attack on the Silvers. Throughout the novel, it is not clear the extent to which Mare ought to trust Farley. Farley is often abrasive and combative in her interactions with Mare, but they nonetheless seem to share the goal of equality. In the end, Farley introduces Mare to a large network of Reds who have been working underground to amass the power to overthrow the Silvers.

Chapter 24 Quotes

Trees and bushes grow over concrete, reclaiming little pockets and corners, but even more have been cleared away. Shattered glass crunches under my feet and clouds of dust drift in the wind, but somehow this place, the picture of neglect, doesn’t feel abandoned. I know this place from the histories, from the books and old maps.
