| Blood Red Road | comment |
Saba lives with her father (her mother is dead), twin brother Lugh, and younger sister Emmi in a wasteland, Silverlake, where laws do not exist. Half a year after Saba and Lugh turned eighteen, four cloaked horsemen show up, kill the father, and kidnap Lugh. The novel revolves around Saba's quest to find and rescue her brother, with whom she has a close relationship. The two are captured by a couple, Rooster Pinch and Miz Pinch, who force Saba to fight in the Colosseum for a man known as the Cage Master. The couple, Mr. and Mrs. Pinch, keep Saba fighting by abusing and threatening the life of Emmi.Blood Red Road is the first book in the Dust Lands Trilogy. It is followed by Rebel Heart and finishes with Raging Star. Spoilers for all three books are marked. | |

Stylistic Suck | |
| Blood Red Road / int_415b3315 | comment |
Stylistic Suck: Saba is young and completely illiterate, and her narration reflects this. (At one point, she even refers to the written word as "a series of black squiggles".) | |
