A review by rachelbowski
Red Rising by Pierce Brown
5.0
I love this book, I don’t know what it is exactly but something in it tickles the same itch as The Hunger Games or Ender’s Game.
My 2024 reread was the Graphic Audio edition, which is very cool with cinematic music and sound effects and a full cast. Some of the cast sounded older than I imagined the characters in my head (they’re late-teens at the Institute), but I thought the narrator/Darrow was fantastic. This is a very violent book to listen to on Graphic Audio (lots of deaths!) so maybe heed that warning if you typically avoid violent media. Cheers to my library having the sequel in Graphic Audio too!
