I snagged a copy of this from Netgalley when it was available as a Read It Now. DNFing at 20%. The world building is stunning and complex, and surprisingly brutal in the first 13% which I actually liked. But something about it just not working for me and I'm finding myself making excuses not to pick...

This book is bloodydamn amazing, for starters. It's set in a dystopian society, which seems like it'll be the typical "protagonist introduced, protagonist gets loved one taken away, protagonist rises up and fights" type storyline, but it is inherently different and vastly intelligent.

I'm very torn. the last part of the novel was very engaging, and I think Brown has some very interesting ideas and even points to make. However the beginning was clunky, to a point that I almost put it down, and I have a lot of issues with various aspects of the story. First of course is the fridgin...

I was so excited when Net Galley and the publisher approved my request to read Golden Son! Then I realized that I got Red Moon and Red Rising confused. Ugh! Alas, I did have Red Rising on my kindle previously purchased and ready to read. Yay! I seriously thought I had already read both of them. But ...

Oh my goodness. I don't know what I was expecting from this book but oh my goodness. I'll admit it took me a while to get hooked in this book but once it got it's claws it, it really got it's claws in. Simply, this book is about a young man called Darrow who is a 'Red' and works under the surface of...
