Red Rising
by Pierce Brown
adventurous
emotional
fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
A mix
Strong character development:
Yes
Loveable characters:
Complicated
Diverse cast of characters:
Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Yes
The world building and plot carried this from 2 to 3 stars. The concept and storytelling are admiral but the dialogue is a bit unbelievable and overly dramatic at times. People who should have been killed were not and the ones that were, seemed a bit random. However, I will plan to read book 2 because I'm curious how this will work itself out or if the writing/dialogue improves.
