When She Woke by Hillary Jordan
3.0
I can tell you right off the bat what happened when she woke. When she woke she was red. That's a near quote from the first line in the book. It's what happens to her afterwards that's the real story.
I found the main character to be a compelling one, and her journey, in many ways and for different reasons with a different ending, somewhat mirrors my own journey thru my young life, tho' I be a he and not a she. I suspect that her story will ring true with a lot of people, tho' their situations be as different as mine.
Yes, there's political commentary. Yes, there's religious commentary. Yes, there's feminist commentary. And, yes, some of the characters are amazingly annoying. (the main he in particular) But those are all elements leading to a good story and a good book. Thank you, Ms. Jordan!
