I said just about the same in my review as you did. ;) I read this back in October, so I didn't hear any hype...I kind of wondered if I was the only one reading it...but, wow, I was so floored! It was brilliant. Violent and gory, but the writing....wow. I'm just...yup. I love this book so much.

OMG, that made me laugh so hard--I had to tweet you and everything. Hi, I'm Heather, by the way:)<br /><br />Your review is actually the second one I have read and like Jen I am SO BUMMED I didn't get in on this at NG. I did request--but really late, and was denied--which sucks--but your thoughts make me want to pre-order this one too--and that's a rare thing for me. That's like only reserved for the Laini Taylor's and Tahereh Mafi's of the world, you know? So, great review--and mission accomplished:) Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07026974627724672435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2773985780576975329.post-14591763454559105072014-01-27T11:52:20.508-06:002014-01-27T11:52:20.508-06:00This is the first time I have heard of Red Rising....This is the first time I have heard of Red Rising.
