Figurative Language

The theme of Blood Red Road is about never giving up. In this novel, Saba is faced with many obstacles that threaten not only her life, but her friends and family. In order to rescue her brother, she had to keep pushing through. It was explicit because Saba said so herself that no matter what happens, she will find Lugh.

Onomotopoeia:

"Crack! The darkness splits open with a bright flash an' a slam boom."

Simile

"I move silent as a cat.."

Setting

While I was reading the novel, I was swept away with a rainbow of emotions ranging from joy to disgust. The book was narrated in frayed English full of phonetic spelling and other quirks. I felt more connected to the main character that way. I highly recommended this book to anyone who is a fan of the Hunger Games series. Both series had a strong heroine that was not your average boy-crazy character.

The setting of this novel is in the future and varies from a wide range of different places, but are all in a desert. The desert setting is important because without it, most of the trouble Saba goes through would not have happened and she would also not come across the people that would end up helping her.
