I was only half invested in the first book but now I'm fully in it. I literally gasped several times in the last chapter. Now I'm mad I have to wait ~11 weeks for book three to be available at my library.

Darrow is a compelling character and I can't wait to see what he and his friends accomplish next.

I couldn’t wait to get my hands on the second book in the Red Rising series and I’m once again left desperate for the sequel. Every aspect of the society and color dynamics is fascinating. I loved getting to see Darrow let his true color show somewhat in the fight for Mars. This story is epic and gripping. I can’t get enough.
