Red Rising by Pierce Brown
5.0
Absolutely amazing!!
Darrow is a 16 y.o boy who is a miner and living in Mars. He is a Red and thus the lowest in a color coded society while the Golds rule them all. (Tbh i was a bit confused about the hierarchy of colors and could not follow up all of it at the start. Because there is so many info, and world building. It was a bit struggle to keep up with them.)The Reds does the shittiest jobs and die very quickly. (A 40ish man considered very old, if you get my meaning) The story start when Darrow is newly married to Eo. They are friends from a really young age and all darrow wants is to live a simple life with her but Eo's plans are a bit different. She wants to live freely. In an act of defiance, Eo sings the illegal song and thats why she is hanged. And this act forces Darrow's hand as well. I dont like manupilative acts such as this. I felt really sorry for Darrow when she was hanged because she forced Darrow even though he did not want to change.
I wont go into the story much more than this because everything is connected and i dont wanna give too many spoilers. But the story is very action packed. It is really interesting and fun to read.
