Red Rising is an extraordinary story! I went in blind and I am not a dystopian sci-fi girly but Pierce Brown makes it so easy to understand complex sciency things! The story is from Darrow’s perspective, a Red (the lowest on the totem pole) whose have been wronged and he needs to fight with the enemies (the high colours) strategically to make the worlds a better place. There is always so much happening that I could not put it down and. High chance this will become my all time favourite series cause never have I ever had my heart beat out of my chest from reading a book.

Life is too short to read books that I would hate if I wasn't so bored. Nothing about the created world is remotely plausible and I don't believe the characters either. Goodreads is full of fans, some of whom suggest it gets really good... later. Whatever.

Amé este librazo. Es mi nueva personalidad. Dejenme besarle la choya a Darrow, es un protagonista tremendo.

A pesar de que su complejidad politica no me parece taaan fuerte, el libro se sostiene bastante bien, tiene buen ritmo y siempre te mantiene ocupado. Además, casi todos los personajes son re memorables (si, si soy simp de Sevro)
