I had a couple very minor issues with this book but overall, I freaking really liked it. It had great representation with the main character being biracial, the repercussions of being black in a world of prejudice, as well as being an amputee. I loved how her prosthetics, both physically and emotionally were discussed and the trails and tribulations it caused, especially is an apocalypse! Christina Henry did something really special by taking a genre that I love, filling it with diversity that it often lacks, and then combining that with the loved story of Red Riding Hood. This doesn't mean much but it has my stamp of approval!
