Red Rising by Pierce Brown

I missed this or wasn’t paying attention so I would like to point out a Trigger Warning for this book involving S. Assault as well as Grotesque and and Misogynistic Behavior, and Trafficking Themes. I don’t know how to properly describe the last trigger so I apologize if another reader is confused. I welcome a better angle on that. It caught me off guard but, was short enough parts I could make it through the book. Everyone is different though. This Is a Really Good Adult Fantasy/ Sci-if Book. The Author does a excellent job showing character development throughout the book. There were lots of twist and turns. I enjoyed being surprised and not able to predict what happens next. A lot of action and it gets pretty fast paced. I’m happy I annotated this book. I found it helpful. At times I needed to go back to a reference I highlighted. My memory is not the best. It was worth it. It is written in a enjoyable way to setup the foundation for the rest of the books moving forward. It had a wonderful ending. The plot is amazing and a good book if someone is looking for something that isn’t a romance heavy novel. Friendships, enemies and relationships are built in a perfectly paced and realistic. Very Emotion Heavy Book! I’m kind of burned out low-key. I annotated in a way I can come back to it in the near future and quickly go through the marked pages so I don’t have to do a re-read.
