Why read it?
1 author picked Rise of the Red Hand as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Oh wow, the world in this book was as amazing as it was scary and realistic. The country is ruined by climate change and ruled by a ruthless, technocratic government that sacrifices the poor to finance a utopia for the rich. So two poor, revolutionary girls from the streets work with a politician’s son (and secret hacker) to change that. I really enjoyed reading about these kick-ass heroines!
From Laura's list on feminist young adult sci-fi and fantasy.
