Red Rising by Pierce Brown
5.0
3rd reread: Who am I kidding this book deserves as any other book all the stars and I am still reeling from all the emotions because I love my Howlers family so much, Darrow, Mustang, Sevro, Roque, Quinn, Pax, etc. I saw a lot of foreshadowing moments for the next books that I completly missed and I am glad to say that this book - this series - will stay forever in my bookshelves.
2nd Read: OKAY WOW THAT WAS MUCH BETTER THAN THE FIRST READ! I'm so glad I decided to reread it because I forgot like 80% of this book and DAMN I love it! This is more like a 4,5 to me and the only two little reason why I can't give a full five stars are: I hate Eo with all my heart and sometimes I wished I had more description. BUT I loved it and I'm so glad I can continue it on!
I just finished this book and I feel like having a book-hangover.
Despite the similarities with Red Queen, which I didn't like btw, Red Rising was more bloody, more action, more plottwists and less romance. I'm really surprised for liking this book so much. Usually I really don't read distopia books because I don't like the genre and I think the distopia book are very similar. well, Red Rising has the basic distopia points too - cruel society, a main character who wants to fight for the suppressed people - but it was made in likeable and good way.
I think the plot stretched a bit in the middle and could've been shorter. And woah, I didn't expect my heart would be ripped out so many times. I need the second book assap.
