Poll Results Are In: No place like home!

In last week's poll, the question was; "What biome would you prefer Saba's story to be set in?" The choices listed on the poll were forest, jungle, Arctic tundra, desert, grasslands, rainforest and mountains/ mountain range. What did you Free Hawks decide?

Desert! It seems that voters either can't see Saba outside of her element, or think that's simply just the place for her! Stay tuned for this week's poll Free Hawks.

What if the Dustlands wasn't...the Dustlands?

In an exclusive Q&A we did with Moira Young a few weeks ago she said that in early ideas and versions of the story, Saba's journey didn't take place in the dry Dustlands that we all know today. In fact, it was originally quite the opposite! Moira says that originally she planned for it to be in an ice world! Crazy to think about, right? My question for you today is, what setting would you prefer?

Saba and her Dog

Last week we asked you what pet Saba would have if she didn't have her crow companion, Nero. You guys voted for a dog!

The popular vote here corresponds with what originally was planned in the books! Moira Young revealed that before she decided Nero was a crow, he was going to be a wolf dog! What sort of dog do you think would live in the Dustlands? Leave your comments below!

Poll: What if Saba didn't have Nero?

We all know and love Saba's 'pet' crow, Nero. We talk about him a lot in fact! But what if Saba didn't have a crow? What other animal companion do you think would suit Saba? Cast your vote in this weeks poll! Fun fact: Moira Young originally had a wolf-dog set to play Saba's animal friend! 

Poll Results Are In: Fans Aren't Destined to Believe in Fate!

It seems that most us over here at Dustlands are skeptics when it comes to fate and destiny!

Almost 50% of you, Free Hawks, voted that you didn't believe in fate! Check out the analysis after the jump...

Is it all written in the stars?

Saba lives in a world where fate and destiny and the writing in the stars, is believed in. At least by some. 

The question this week is: do you believe in fate?

Poll Results Are In: North America is YOUR Dust Lands!

Our poll this week asked you where you thought the Dust Lands might be found on the world - or universe- map! North America was the top voted location!

It was definitely a popular choice, but there were many other options that were also considered by fans! Keep on reading to find out just why that is...

Where is the Dust Lands?

The trilogy is named after it's setting. It's where Saba's blood red road runs and where her rebel heart beats. And yet we don't actually know where 'there' is. 

So where do you envision Saba and her friends, and foes, walking? Where in the world could possibly be so affected by climate change and human transgressions that it could quite literally become a dust land? You tell us!

Poll Results Are In: Saba & Nero Crowned Best Double Act!

Seemingly a dog is not a man's best friend, but a crow is. Saba and Nero have won this week's poll as the best double act in the Dust Lands!

With many wonderful, funny, villainous and loved-up teams as possible winners, the fan-favourite is one girl and her faithful flighty companion who's always that one step ahead of everyone else! Like owner, like pet! 

Who Is The Dust Lands Best Double Act?

TV presenters, best friends, comedians, our favourite characters. They all have something in common. They wouldn't be anywhere without their partner. 

Blood Red Road and Rebel Heart's vast array of characters all have someone at their side who makes their job that much easier...or in some cases harder! The question is - who is the best team?

Poll Results Are In: Saba Has the Most Fight In Her Heart!

Our female hero, Saba, has won this week's poll for the character with the fiercest spirit. Let's be honest - who else could it possibly be?! 

So how did everyone fare? Read more after the jump...

Fighting Spirit

Everyone knows that the Dust Lands are filled with fierce, fighting-spirited characters who aren't afraid to go to battle for the ones, or the things, they love. But who, we're asking this week, is the one with the most fire in their heart?

Sometimes we judge characters on their appearance, or who they're friends with, what side they're on, their best and worst lines. But maybe it's more important to judge their motives, and if they go after their goals with passion, determination and persistence -  instead of just sitting back and waiting for it all to fall into their lap. 

So who do you think has the most fuel for their fighting spirit? In a land of fierce warriors and harsh circumstances, it's definitely going to be a battle to the end.

Poll Results Are In: JACK voted as YOUR favourite character!

It will come as no surprise to many in the fandom that Jack has won the poll for who you’d rather walk the dust lands with...by a mile!

The results are as follows:

Who would you walk the Dustlands with?

Every time you read a book, there's a certain character that just grabs your attention. You pay more attention to their dialogue; you've got a smile on your face when you read scenes they're present in. You want to pull them out of the page and have them stand next to you just so you can talk to them.

Different things make people connect with varying characters. Perhaps they are relatable or alternatively, so different from you that it's intriguing. Maybe they make you laugh or cry or swoon or so mad that you have to put the book down for a few minutes or else the pages could be showering down around you as you rip them out in rage! Whatever the reason, irrational or rational, it happens.

In the Dust Lands trilogy, there's a vast range to choose from.

And so this week's poll (the first in what we hope to be a weekly event and post) is based around characters. Quite simply - who's your favourite?

Leave comments with your reasons and maybe even your least favourite!

The poll will close on Sunday 31st March and a post will be written up on that character by a fan! If you'd like this to be you, just leave a comment or tweet us at: @DustlandsFans !
