Red Sister

Gave up at 50%.

I had a feeling I wasn't going to love this. Teen girls is the group I like LEAST as my protagonists and even if you call me names and judge my character based on that... meh. Such is life. I was a teenage girl once, I didn't like it, so I'm not really interested.

Now a huge part of me attempting to read this was actually Blood Song by Anthony Ryan, as that book and this sound the same, with the exception of this being about a religious warrior school for GIRLS, that one the same for BOYS. Hey, great time for comparing our stuff.
And I didn't like this. I'm not saying it's a bad book, if I didn't have an exam in mid-May I would probably finish it, but it gives me no joy and takes too much time, so I'm dropping it. My reasons? I don't like Nona, I find the prose to be over the top and not fluid enough to read, the nun's names are objects and I can't keep it all straight, I don't remember who is who and who does what.
Everyone seems to love it, but I just need to get something else or I'm going mad.
(Though I can't help feeling like their education is stupid in this book. Kids go from one step in their education to the next at their own pace. How can you teach anything to your class when kids constantly come and go? Do they repeat the same things over and over? HOW?)

Good night and find me a sister by another mister!
