I really didn't know what to expect from RED RISING other than that Piece Brown was voted Best Debut Goodreads Author of 2014, and that all of my peer reviewers LOVED it. This was my first Science Fiction Young Adult listen EVER, and apparently that was my bad because I should have been enjoying all...

Red Rising was quit an interesting mix of ideas and concepts. We have a bit of a Hunger Games concept mixed with a dystopian science fiction beginning. Lots of mythological references and genetic engineering or planning births to achieve certain results. Darrow is a red - the lowest color. And as su...

My people sing, we dance, we love. That is our strength. But we also dig. And then we die. Seldom do we get to choose why. That choice is power. That choice has been our only weapon.

Caste systems on Mars. Teenagers playing war games at Command School with life or death consequences. Deception, disguises, and subterfuge. Welcome to Red Rising.The first part of the book was slow, and I almost gave up on it. I did not get attached to Darrow or Eo, and did not care about their ...

It was the best! I"ll write my review tomorrow because right now I'm going to hop into bed with [b:Golden Son|18966819|Golden Son (Red Rising Trilogy, #2)|Pierce Brown|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1394684475s/18966819.jpg|26984955] (and that sounds pretty scandalous).

This is going to a very straightforward review if you read The Hunger Games. Take your impression of that book and apply it to this one. Red Rising has a different setting and characters, but the plot is similar and the underlying theme is a carbon copy. If you haven't read the Hunger Games, then ...
