So this book is the 4th Red Rising novel. However, it is very different from the first 3 in that it is set 10 years later and has multiple POVs.
At first, I wasn't a fan of 2 points of view. I just didn't really care because I didn't know anything about them. However, by the end of the book I was much more engaged in their stories.
There were a lot of new twists and turns in this book, definitely didn't see then all coming. However, I was not as impressed with it as the first 3 books. Hopefully Dark Age will be better!
For those who've never read the series and are interested, definitely start with Red Rising. There is a lot of violence and gore, also some cursing and nudity. However, there are no sexual scenes. Definitely falls under Sci-fi and Fantasy! But there is also a strong military vibe as well.
