[4.75]

hello? HELLO?! This is a genre I normally don’t consume because I. Do. Not. Like. It. But boy oh boy did this blow me away.

It’s gruesome, it’s very questionable towards women at some point, the main character might be my least favourite character but it still slaps tremendously hard. I ate through the last 40 pages like a man starved.

The plot is setup in a way where I wasn’t able to predict everything and that’s so refreshing. Like damn, they really went there. Multiple times.

10/10 recommend, even to people who normally stray from this genre. It’s a page turner. It has made me cry, multiple times.

Also Servo hmu i’m down bad for u <3

I’ve never been a huge fan of sci-fi books but I kept seeing Red Rising talked about everywhere, so I decided to give it a go. I was gripped from the start and it was thrilling all the way through. They aren’t lying when they say it’s Hunger Games meets Games of Thrones. I’m really excited to continue the series now
