A review by bookbinch
Red Rising by Pierce Brown
3.0
I will definitely continue this series, but I must say this first book felt very much like a first book.
I like the world building and I like the character development, but I felt like the narrative itself needed some refining.
The majority of the book happens during a “school assignment” that was very much a game of RISK or Hunger Games x100. But it felt like we got there too soon in the schooling, and the game lasted 75% of the book. Then the resolution happens in 3 pages.
Something didn’t sit quite right with me, but I’m intrigued to continue it!
