Pierce Brown's Red Rising: Sons of Ares - An Original Graphic Novel by Rik Hoskin, Pierce Brown

3.0

Even though I'm a massive fan of the Red Rising series, I didn't connect with this prequel as much as the main series itself. The story was written well enough, but it did feel as if there were some key plot points and emotional cruces that weren't fully fleshed out. Also, I wasn't fond of the art. The colors were good, fitting even, and the lines seemed very rough and bold (much like the essence of Red Rising), but the style wasn't much to my taste. A little too blocky and amorphous. Also, it ends a bit abruptly. Not sure this prequel was 100% necessary but there was enough additional details to expand and improve the lore of Red Rising.
