Crimson Bound by Rosamund Hodge

4.0

I listened to this on audio while cooking for my Vegetarian Thanksgiving dinner so I have to be honest it was a little difficult to get into at first. I needed to pay more attention but I had lots of dishes going at once, so I had to pay attention to that as well, some books you can do that with no problem but [b:Crimson Bound|21570318|Crimson Bound|Rosamund Hodge|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1413217438s/21570318.jpg|40902835] required more from me. This is a re-telling of red riding hood, although calling it a re-telling doesn't quite capture it because [a:Rosamund Hodge|6474354|Rosamund Hodge|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1362755691p2/6474354.jpg] reinvents an entire world from the idea of a red hood and the idea of a wolf. The main character reminded me of something [a:Sarah J. Maas|3433047|Sarah J. Maas|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1269281353p2/3433047.jpg] could write as I read [b:Sarah J.

Maas|3433047|Sarah J. Maas|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1269281353p2/3433047.jpg] while I was listening to it. If you enjoy more direct re-tellings then perhaps this book is not for you, or you could just read it and drop the thought that it is re-telling. If you enjoy fantasy, dark stories, and strong main female characters definitley check this out.
