Originally posted on Books with Chemistry.Crimson Bound is the story of Rachelle. When she was 15 years old, she was lets say a good girl. She was being trained by her aunt as the next woodwife (they protect people from the power of the forest), but Rachelle is also reckless. One day, while in the woods with a forestborn, she gets careless for a moment and shes marked by him, thus being damned: She has three days for killing someone on cold blood and becoming a bloodbound, or else she dies.I need to have a shirt made, with ROSAMUND HODGE IS FUCKING BRILLIANT printed on it.

Great premise - unsatisfactory execution. The whole time the book was like: And my reaction every single time was like: My biggest problem with this book was that it tried to be something extra-ordinary and unique and great, but both the plot-line and the characters felt like rip-offs from Cruel Beauty. As somebody who is fond of the original Red Riding Hood tale and had if not very high, but expectations nonetheless, I must say that I was extremely disappointed. First, there was the lack of a
Tell me about the Devourer, she said. What is he, really?The breath in our mouths and the hunger in our hearts, said the forestborn. Be patient, little girl. Youll meet him yourself someday. Crimson Bound was a mesmerizing read. Unlike I first imagined, this was no retelling of Little Red Riding Hood. For sure, some elements here and there could be compared to that classic story, but, like Cruel Beauty, this novel took unexpected turns. Its not You cant In vain did I make predictions, because I

Yes, the prose flowed exceptionally well; yes, the characters were complex; yes, the world-building was fascinating and all that, but I just couldn't find myself liking it completely. It was a fantasy that read too much like a romance (although it can be debated that
Read for the 2015 Reading Challenge: #37 A book with a color in the title. Buddy Read with Victoria!4.5 A very compelling, twisted and addictive Red Riding Hood retelling. Interesting and absorbing from page one. Great characters and better development, I was very surprised to see how well the interactions between them were, the dialogue felt clever all the time. The world-building is simple and yet it feels deep and challenging, with a dark-fantasy aura. The descriptions are just incredible
