Renewed interest
It’s been a few years since I ventured in the Red Rising series. When I received a recommendation to read this, I had to check it out right away! Story was decent, but there was a part (no spoiler) that definitely surprised me! Art style was unique and the theme was grim. I enjoyed this prequel to book one very much!

A graphic novel prequel to the Red Rising series? An interesting concept executed wonderfully. It was really cool to see the world in color even if the art wasn't my favorite.
I received an ecopy of this through Netgalley; however all opinions are my own.

A fascinating insight into the origins of the Au Barca Familia and the Sons of Ares. Brilliant.

3 Stars. This being my first comic read, I can’t say I’m a big fan. Maybe it’s just that I’m not used to reading them but this was a little hard to follow. On the good side, I liked the characters and the back story into Fitchner’s life.

3 stars. This was okay. Red Rising is one of my favorite series ever so I will read anything associated with it. The art style in this wasn't my favorite. It was kinda ugly honestly which in retrospect I guess it makes sense but I just didn't enjoy it. The story itself was okay, I liked that this followed the parents of Sevro since he's one of my favorite characters so it was cool to get his back story. This was nothing to write home about and I don't think it adds anything to the series but it was alright for what it was.

The story is a solid addition to the original Red Rising trilogy, but should only be read after Golden Son (aka book 2), not before.
The art is very much NOT my style, which is a very heavy factor for me for graphic novels.
This is a brutal world, and the art reflects that reality. Not sure that's a bad thing but it's not one I will likely reread.
