Red Rising by Pierce Brown

5.0

this took me a couple of weeks to finish because i kept on putting it down after intense scenes. i've read 5 books in between reading this to kinda rest my heart lol.

But i still loved it. I already liked the concept from reading the few chapters, it definitely got me intrigued. I have no idea what the book was about except that it's a scifi set on Mars. I started getting into it more when Darrow got to the Institute and omg that intense game of "capture the flag" was so vivid and i can just imagine everything that was happening. All the bloodshed (reminds me of Battle Royale) and betrayals and fight scenes, and the the masterful strategies and execution of Darrow's plans just left me in awe.

I could not put it down when i got to the 3rd half. And all that reveals.

Will definitely read the next book now. And here's to hoping there'll be a lot of Servo scenes cause he's definitely an instant favorite. He kinda reminds me of Leo from Heroes of Olympus (PG-13 version).
