Blood Red Road

So when I first picked up the book at my library it really threw me through a loop, the writing style is so unique and it made me feel like I was actually witnessing the main character Saba actually going through this land, the emotional response that this book earned from me was intense satisfaction, even though it was completely bizarre, this book is a must read for anyone that is a fan of dystopian novels (obviously I myself am a massive fan of dystopian societies and worlds) it was only slightly reminiscent of hunger games and only during a certain part of the book, the rest feels like an fantasy quest from a Tolkien novel but set in a gunslinging, cage fighting, murderous world that would sooner let you drown in sand than let you walk through a forest, Moira young has changed how I view young adult novels

This book was so good i just love it 😍 i can't wait to read the next one

The grammar and the 'slang' got old on the 4th page.... so sad. It looked like a good read.

being a hunger games fanatic, I fell head over heels for this book. it takes awhile to get used to the writing style, considering some words aren't spelt properly an quotation marks aren't used, but I think that's what made it interesting, the plot was amazing and kept me on the edge of my seat for more; Saba is a fearless leader and an amazing warrior. everything about her and the other characters are amazing. I am proud to say I finished this book in a day. I loved it <3

Great book fast paced, exciting, kept me on the edge of my chair, didn't want to put the book down

Great book. amazing!

I'll start off by saying that Blood Red Road is one of my favorite books of all time. I'm pretty sure that it even beat out the Hunger Games...which I thought would be nearly impossible in the first place. Saba's character is rough, tough, and as fiery as any character could get. Everything about that book I loved, from the language Saba uses to the characters themselves. Dust Lands in all honesty was kind of a disappointment to me. Saba does something that ruined the book for me towards the end, and it just seemed so out of character for her. Others might disagree, but that I was my opinion of it. It was rather sad and depressing compared to the first book, because Saba makes a lot of mistakes and her relationship with Lugh is being tried throughout the entire book. Also magic/spiritual happenings were dealt with in the book, and I thought of it as more of a science fiction rather than a fantasy, so it kind of threw me off a bit. Over all, if you loved Blood Red Road as much as I did, I would not read this book, and instead make up my own ending. This doesn't mean I won't be buying the next book, though! So if you were really set on buying this book- go for it. I finished it in 1 day. It's good and fast-paced, I just did not like some of the choices that Saba's character made, and I didn't really like how magic/spirituality was introduced because I thought this was more of a science fiction story.

Okay. I'm one of those people who constantly corrects grammatical errors. For me to sit through and read this book would be torture. I just finished the sample of the book, and it's hard for me to enjoy with all those issues. I'm giving the book a three because, if the grammar and spelling was correct, it probably would have been a great read.

Action-packed and suspenseful!!!

this book series has the potential to be wayyy better than the hunger games series!!! now the first books in both series are phenomenal and you really can't choose which one is better. but if the next books are this good, it will be better than the hunger games!!!! i don't know if you just read that, but let me repeat: BETTER THAN THE HUNGER GAMES!!!!!!! :) that's insane! read this book! <3
