I'd love to see navigate and hopefully come out on top in this story!

I guess the cover kind of turned me off? But clearly this sort of pre-judgement needs to be a lesson to me. This sounds fantastic! Honestly, as I kept reading your review I was nodding my head in agreement to all that you listed that worked for you, because they sound like they'll work for me as well.<br />Thank you for writing this review and forcing me to pay attention to this book haha. Your review has definitely turned me into an interested reader. :)Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03052456915027241479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523300192245025551.post-79732445358999286002014-01-21T21:05:32.980-05:002014-01-21T21:05:32.980-05:00Oh I just started this one!

Girl, you know how to deliver the story. I mean this sounds like something totally new and amazing which kinda of makes me want to let my exams go and read it. Luckily it's not out, just yet. Anyhow I'm so happy you enjoyed this one.

This is the kind of book I would have loved to have read as a YA so I wouldn't hesitate at all.

Sometimes I swear the little computer icon in Word is mocking me when he sits down after five minutes have passed and I've yet to type anything. Awesome. Must add this to my TBR list, I don't want to miss out! Love that gorgeous cover too.

Like you, I've grown rather tired of the dystopian genre, but this one seems to set itself apart from the rest, and that excites me - even moreso because I've never heard of it. I find that it's those novels that usually speak to me more. Wonderful review, Keertana!Melissa (i swim for oceans)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06840790603713851746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523300192245025551.post-15863993124361065732014-01-21T07:31:28.522-05:002014-01-21T07:31:28.522-05:00Like you I am no fan of a dystopian.

So just from reading you first paragraph I think I may need to start this one a little sooner than anticipated. Sometimes I see the resemblance and can imagine a world like that but some just don't do that for me. I hope Red Rising will be different for me. Brilliant review Keertana. :)Emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17409669758470666840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523300192245025551.post-7619956072633811762014-01-21T07:22:03.181-05:002014-01-21T07:22:03.181-05:00I was all set to avoid dystopians for all eternity...I was all set to avoid dystopians for all eternity (or at least this year), but the more I see about this book the more I WANT IT. Now I'm upset at myself for not trying to get an early copy. I'm particularly interested in the development and journey that the character of Darrow takes through this book, and the way the book looks at power. I've also begun to prefer minimal romance in first of series books, because there's nothing worse than it peaking too early and an author scrambling to add tension. You've definitely sold me on this, K!

I started this a couple of weeks ago and liked the beginning, but I was too sick to concentrate on it properly. Clearly I have to pick it up again soon.<br /><br />Wendy @ <a href="http://www.themidnightgarden.net" rel="nofollow">The Midnight Garden</a>Wendy Darlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13471461156849725177noreply@blogger.com
