![]() I am guessing it will be a hit or miss with the readers. What else is great about the book it the writing style. Women here, regardless of their age, are strong and self-reliant and, surprisingly, they don't waste their time on trying to prove they have balls to the men around them by wearing pants and rejecting everything feminine. ![]() You will not see a single limp damsel in distress in this novel. In fact, Blood Red Road is a celebration of girl power. ![]() There is a bit of Katniss Everdeen in her - that familiar determination, stubbornness, strength, charisma and heightened survival instincts. Obstacles and adventures are ahead of her. Why and where he is taken, Saba doesn't know, but she is determined to do everything she can to find and rescue him. Saba's twin brother Lugh is kidnapped in front of her eyes. The novel is basically an adventure quest set in a distant post-apocalyptic future. It is a stand-out in the new crop of dystopian/post-apocalyptic YA fiction, most of which is crap. I hope it will get enough promo buzz over the next few months to reach tons of readers, because Blood Red Road very much deserves it. This book is not going to be out until June, so I feel very lucky for having had an opportunity to read it so early. ![]()
