4.5 Stars First of all, I need to congratulate myself for finishing this book. English isn't my native language, so I'm kind of a hero. Well done, hon.This was such a refreshing reading, with characters worth caring about, definitely something different from what I've been reading lately. Not only b...

Rarely do I come across a book that I find very little in it that I liked. Blood Red Road is an exception. There were so few elements to it that I found enjoyable that I still can not believe I made it to the end. Especially, without the loss of hair or my sanity.I'll start with the writing style....

The narration. The narration! I was stunned and shocked at first - I didn't know if it was just southern or what or just poor attempt of writing in Cormack McCarthy's style - but I learned that the way Saba tells her story is the way that she should tell it. And it fits, and I stopped to even notici...

In the beginning, Saba is a person who has no idea of her self without her twin Lugh. She describes herself as his shadow, always following. Throughout the book s...

Also posted on my blog http://snugglingonthesofa.wordpress.com/I know this book has been about for a while, and I do remember seeing it, but not picking it up. Well a librarian friend of mine recommended it, so I had to read it. For anyone who hasn't read or heard of 'Blood Red Road' by Moira Young,...

I thought this was fun as hell. First of all, as my Goodreads friends know, I adore a good adventure road trip tale. I just love 'em--the stranger the people/lands, the shittier the conditions and the steeper the hardships, the better! There's nothing more entertaining to me than a bunch of random...

Blood Red Road is the debut novel by Moira Young. It is one of the novels listed on my Blood Magic challenge reads for this year. I wanted to wait to read it until I had the sequel, Rebel Heart, so I could burn through both of them. I'm finding series and trilogies much easier to catch up on once I ...

I thought this story was great and the series has great potential. It took me a few pages to get into the narrator's dialect. It bugged the shit out of me that there were no double quotations when people were speaking. Other than that, I felt it.
