Red Rising by Pierce Brown

5.0

It was a great story, that starts immediately into action and never lets down for a single second. Darrow is a great character and he goes through such a great development and his arc is very well-written. The test they go through has some allusion to the Hunger Games, but is different enough to make it distinct. The way Darrow gets smarter and more cunning by the end is great to see, he is a really great protagonist. He makes his mistakes, but he learns form them and has inner turmoil, and fucks up a lot. The ending sets up very nicely for any further books.
