Dust Lands

"Readers will be champing at the bit to get to the conclusion of this poetic, action-packed trilogy."--Jennifer M. Brown "Shelf Awareness " "Her immersive storytelling will lure readers deeper into this dangerous, starkly lovely terrain."--Publishers Weekly "STARRED " *"Young's powerful debut, first in the Dustlands series, is elevated above its now familiar postapocalyptic setting by an intriguing prose style and strong narrative voice that show a distinct Cormac McCarthy vibe. It's a natural for Hunger Games fans." --Publishers Weekly *STAR "Blood Red Road is an eerie and adventurous dystopian fantasy on par with Suzanne Collins' The Hunger Games and Paolo Bacigalupi's Ship Breaker."--LA Times "Is it any surprise that Ridley Scott swiftly optioned the book?"--New York Times Book Review "Better than The Hunger Games. . . . This book will blow you away."--MTV's Hollywood Crush blog "I absolutely loved Blood Red Road. What a great read! Moira Young goes over the top with a most engaging heroine. Saba is a crusty, foul-tempered warrior woman who must be covered in scar tissue by the end of the book, but men still follow her around like starving wolves. The dialogue is fast and often humorous, the pace never lets up. No situation is so bad that it can't get worse in the next couple of pages. I especially liked the awakening of the hellwurms as they emerge to feed. Well done, Ms. Young!"--Nancy Farmer, author of The House of the Scorpion "Blood Red Road will capture any reader who picks it up. I love everything about Saba - her language, her intensity, her heart. Everyone should read her story."--James Dashner, author of The Maze Runner
