I first read Red Rising when I was given an ARC to review. Unfortunately, I couldn't shake the comparison between it and THG, and it kind of came off second best. I ended up reading books 1-3 but I didn't carry on after that. I am so glad that I picked it up to read again because WOW is it a great read. Can't wait to carry on with the series now!

Predictable beginning, but became a complex plot as it progressed. No good female characters, the one sole main female we never understand her motives or truely get to know her. She’s just ✨there✨.

This book has all that we of multiple fandoms want packed into a series. This book is for Harry Potter , Divergent, Hunger Games and PJO fans alike. The plot the characters the world building is all top tier. You feel yourself rooting for just about everyone, but make sure you also steel your heart as well. Great read!

i think the ages being so young and what happened during those times were unnecessary and made me uncomfortable reading a few times.
