Red Rising by Pierce Brown
3.0
adventurous dark tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

It took me a bit to get into it, but overall it was good. 

They kind of lost me during the whole "capture the flag, but with murder" part. It just dragged on for too long in some places. Like, how can you say so much yet so little at the same time? Felt like I was just on one long side quest for most of the book. 

 I am looking forward to reading the rest of the series, though.  Hopefully, we can get back to the main plot of the story.
