lilac_rose 's review for:

Red Rising by Pierce Brown

3.75

challenging tense slow-paced

Plot or Character Driven: Character

Strong character development: Complicated

Loveable characters: No

Diverse cast of characters: No

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

The first half was okay but not worth near the hype this book recieved. With a barley valed anology for the british empire and a pretty bad caste system it just wasn't enjoyable. But, at about 65% through the book it get really good.

The introduction of mustang makes this book go from okay to really good.

I think I will take a break between now and reading the next one.
