![]() ![]() I found myself often laughing out loud (literally.not just saying LOL when you don't really mean it), and wanting Tella to do well. She was hilarious, and sarcastic, and easily distracted, but stronger than she realises. My favourite thing about this book was definitely Tella, as a character. I hadn't actually heard of it before I found it in a sale, but I think it's sort of like a mixture between the Hunger Games and. Tella teams up with a group of couldn't-be-more-different competitors and they battle their way through the first element of the Brimstone Bleed, and into the second. ![]() As the race begins, the other competitors scatter, some forming groups to travel together until the last moment, when it's every man and woman for themselves. ![]() Desperate to help her brother, Tella follows the instructions she's given and finds herself at the edge of jungle, carrying an egg that will supposedly help her during the race. ![]() As she picks it, places the ear piece in, she hears a woman's voice, telling her that she has an invitation to be a part of the Brimstone Bleed, a race-like competition in which the prize for winning is a cure that will heal any sickness. Nothing, that is, until a strange blue box with an ear piece mysteriously appears on her bed one day. Tella's brother is dying of cancer, and there's nothing she can do about. ![]()
