Wow, what an amazing book.
I really didn't expect to read such a story.
It was kind of like space Hunger Games but better.
Amazing plot, world building and characters, I can't believe this was a debut.

The voice acting was amazing, but I wish this wasn’t two parts. Also I feel like there was a better spot to split up the book. Overall it was still fun to listen to a more theatrical version of red rising though.
