Saba has spent her whole life in Silverlake, a dried-up wasteland ravaged by constant sandstorms. The Wrecker civilization has long been destroyed, leaving only landfills for Saba and her family to scavenge from. That's fine by her, as long as her beloved twin brother Lugh is around. But when a monster sandstorm arrives, along with four cloaked horsemen, Saba's world is shattered. Lugh is captured, and Saba embarks on an epic quest to get him back.
Suddenly thrown into the lawless, ugly reality of the world outside of desolate Silverlake, Saba is lost without Lugh to guide her. So perhaps the most surprising thing of all is what Saba learns about herself: she's a fierce fighter, an unbeatable survivor, and a cunning opponent. And she has the power to take down a corrupt society from the inside. 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.
Blood Red Road has a searing pace, a poetically minimal writing style, violent action, and an epic love story. Moira Young is one of the most promising and startling new voices in teen fiction.
What an interesting story! At first, the language in the book really bothered me (all the bad grammar and spelling), and I didn't think I would be able to stand reading it. But after the first 20 or so pages, I completely didn't notice it and in my mind read it in regular English.
I was sucked into the story right away. I wanted to know all about Saba and Lugh and Emmi. Saba's journey was so incredible! All she went through in her quest to find her brother - amazing! I loved it when she would overcome a hurdle - I was totally rooting for her!
And then when she met Jack and the Free Hawks - awesome! I loved Jack from the start! Swoon!
There was so much action in this book! It really was a great read and I am so excited to read Rebel Heart!
Rating: 4.5/5

I'll read it, but probably not until the 3rd one is (finally) out next year.
