Commentary To Books Fire & Flood (Fire & Flood #1)
What would you do to save someone you love? Time is slipping away. . . . Tella Holloway is losing it. Her brother is sick, and when a dozen doctors can't determine what's wrong, her parents decide to move to the middle of nowhere for the fresh air. She's lost her friends, her parents are driving her crazy, her brother is dying--and she's helpless to change anything. Until she receives mysterious instructions on how to become a Contender in the Brimstone Bleed. It's an epic race across jungle, desert, ocean, and mountain that could win her the prize she desperately desires: the Cure for her brother's illness. But all the Contenders are after the Cure for people they love, and there's no guarantee that Tella (or any of them) will survive the race. The jungle is terrifying, the clock is ticking, and Tella knows she can't trust the allies she makes. And one big question emerges: Why have so many fallen sick in the first place? Victoria Scott's breathtaking novel grabs readers by the throat and doesn't let go.

Whoa, what a wild ride!I have seen other reviewers say that this book is like a mix between The Hunger Games and The Amazing Race, and yeah, I can absolutely see that! The thrills and excitement are non stop as we follow a very special girl through an extraordinary journey.16 year old Tella has been dragged out to the middle of Montana by her parents. Her older brother, Cody, is sick with a mysteriously degenerating disease, and they felt that the fresh air would be good for him. Now Tella isThe woman pauses dramatically. Id like to officially welcome you to the Brimstone Bleed. May the bravest Contender win. Wait, what? Put this on your shirt.Its a small gold serpent pin, and its fairly heavy. Well, isn't that just fucking special?This book is half Hunger Games, half Digimon/Pokémon hybrid, and 100% terrible. The writing and the main character is absolutely juvenile---without all the sexual scenes, this book would feel like it was written for a middle grade audience because of the

Fire & Flood is a VERY disappointing read. Of course, Ive read some reviews and saw that many said it had a lot of similarities to The Hunger Games. I may be one of the few who thought that, but I didnt mind that fact before picking it up. As long as it's good and not 100% similar to that book. Fortunately, its not The Hunger Games all the way. Tella is a normal teenager who just moved out to Montana with her family. She is loved by her parents but unfortunately, her brother is ill and she
Very good indeed! Not my normal read but I enjoyed it thoroughly. I thought the pace was fantastic and something needs to be said about the increasing amount of new literature, that uses the short, sporadic chapter lengths. Some of the chapters in this book were 4 pages! I am used to epics which sometimes have chapters of 50 + pages, so having short chapters makes the book seem to fly by. Ultimately I fell in love with the story, and I will admit, the characters. I have a gripe against romance
So excited to share this new series with you! It couldn't be more different than the Dante Walker books. I suppose I like to keep you guys guessing. ;)
