I wanted so much to love this book.  The cover is breathtaking and the plot/story sounded so interesting.  But unfortunally that is where the good things end with this book.  The first thing I am going to say is that if you didn't like the writing style of Blood Red Road, just put this book back on the shelf and walk away.  Because, the author invented a new language style.  I loved the idea because it makes you really believe that the book is set in another time different than out own.  But the author does it in such a way it made each sentence drag.  The first 60 pages were the hardest to get through I had to put it down many times because I found myself falling asleep.  Then it picks up a bit but then dives back into dullsville. So for this one the potential was huge for this book.  Great plot, wonderful cover, but the execution just wasn't there.  I would have to say that I love this kind of book and if I didn't make it through it. I don't see many others especially teens making it through this very dull, very tech wordy, book that will make you want to snooze.
