Review Detail

I couldn't wait for Rebel Heart. The moment I read the first page of Blood Red Road, I was trapped in its amazing writing. Rebel Heart had that same quality, and I managed to finish the book in less than 24 hours. Moira Young has a brilliant writing style that will leave all who read her work entranced.

I think that this book was clever to introduce the prologue with Jack's story, a few months before Saba comes in. This allows us to understand some of Jack's motives, and even see his love is true. In the middle of the book, this short prologue lets us (as in the reader) know partly what happened with Jack and why he is with the Tontons. I reckon that this small section at the start of the book allows us a head start for main section of the book.

In Rebel Heart, Saba's actions from Blood Red Road is now starting to take hold on her future. DeMalo (I think thats right...) is now a leader, and has put a price on Saba's head. The plot thickens as Saba takes life changing paths that will to outcomes, for the better or the worse.

I didn't really like Saba as much as before. In Rebel Heart, Saba's strong willed character stays, but it is slightly warped from what it was in Blood Red Road. She has gone a bit crazy with guilt, and sees ghosts walking behind her. And how Lugh's devotion is also helping to crack her. Saba has become reckless in a bad way. She does not think before acting, and it effects those around her, but she still thinks she is right. I know that this would happen to everyone. but this 'new' Saba is not as appealing for me.

I think that Rebel Heart is an amazing sequel to Blood Red Road. It is totally worth reading and will blow your mind away as it did to mine. If enough people are able to find and read this fantastic book, then it would give the Hunger Games a run for its money.
