Red Rising is the first book in the Red Rising Trilogy, a series that follows Red Helldriver Darrow as he is chosen by the Sons of Ares to help save their enslaved people. It is an introduction to the world after we've colonized the moon, and a look into what we've engineered ourselves to be. I...
So here are the main reasons why I DNFed at page 160:1) This once again was a bad version of Hunger Games and a really really bad version of Divergent and I did not like Divergent. I can get behind a society raised on Mars merely there to go and dig elements (no I don't recall what) in order for th...
RED RISING by Pierce Brown was like THE HUNGER GAMES meets GATTACA.In a dystopian future, humans have colonized other planets in our solar system and also developed a class society. The Reds are some of the lowliest of these, comprising the laborers who toil beneath Mars's surface so that the planet...
"Red Rising" by Pierce Brown is like the adult version of "The Hunger Games" all grown up, wiser, and more mature. I definitely saw elements of "The Hunger Games" in this book, but this book is also unique and stands on its own two feet, it is just so much more then that vague resemblance. I did hav...

Unpopular opinion time! I give it 3 stars.When something's described as ""cross-genre"" or...

Just as a disclaimer: I usually don't like SciFi. Whether it be in movies, books or other media, I just find myself being put off by all the sciencey-technological elements which distract myself from the characters or plot. So when I first picked up Red Rising I wasn't expecting what I found. Brie...
Brilliant. So much so, that Red Rising takes it's rightful spot as my fourth 5-star book of this year. If only I would have known what brilliance was waiting for me, this would have been read much sooner. As my audio book neared its end, and my heart beat started to slow to a more normal rhythm, the...
