Blood Red Road by Moira YoungMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
(3.5/5) This book was actually surprisingly really good, the story was very fast paced and jumpy in a good way. The characters didn't spend long amounts of time in a certain place which was nice. I was always wondering what was going to happen next. It kind of felt like the Scorch Trials by James Dashner, not just because the land was desert but the writing style.
Why I didn't give this book a 5/5:
I was really taken aback with the strong American accent and spelling... The words are actually spelled out how they sound in the accent so it was really difficult to read.
Difficult to read quickly because each word I have to really sound out. So this made the book seem reaaaaaaally long! Like spelling practically - "practikally" Leah cannot compute lol... makes my brain twist uncomfortably!!!
And Young never writes with quotations when someone speaks, so I'd read a sentence and realize by the end of it that the character was actually saying it out loud which was really annoying. Even capital letters were not where they belong, like "We" in the middle of a sentence.
