If you can't get past this you might end up really annoyed. Once you get comfortable with this and the speech patterns the book flows smoothly and quickly. The jumps to the next line are very frequent but they help you keep track of when the person who is talking changes. You simply have to pay attention to the cues of so-and-so says, I said, he says, etc. There is no punctuation for you to note when the actual speech of a character begins and ends. The entire book is written/read in some sort of clipped English vernacular. When I picked it back up I devoured it in 2 days. Whenever I try to force through reading a book that doesn't catch me right away, then what might normally take me a few days could take 2 months.
I'm very much a mood reader and this one I believe requires the right mood.
I started reading it last year and got about a chapter in when I decided to set it aside. Read moreĪdmittedly this book sat on my shelf for quite awhile. Moira Young is one of the most promising and startling new voices in teen fiction. Teamed up with a handsome daredevil named Jack and a gang of girl revolutionaries called the Free Hawks, Saba stages a showdown that will change the course of her own civilization.īlood Red Road has a searing pace, a poetically minimal style, violent action, and an epic love story. She has the power to take down a corrupt society from the inside. So perhaps the most surprising thing of all is what Saba learns about herself: she is a fierce fighter, an unbeatable survivor, and a cunning opponent. Suddenly thrown into the lawless, ugly reality of the world outside of desolate Silverlake, Saba is lost without Lugh to guide her.
Lugh is captured, and Saba embarks on a quest to get him back. But when a monster sandstorm arrives, along with four cloaked horsemen, Saba's world is shattered. That's fine by her, as long as her beloved twin brother Lugh is around.
The Wrecker civilization has long been destroyed, leaving only landfills for Saba and her family to scavenge from. Saba has spent her whole life in Silverlake, a dried-up wasteland ravaged by constant sandstorms. A girl goes on an epic journey through a bleak landscape in the first book of this post-Apocalyptic trilogy.
