A review by onetrooluff
Red Rising by Pierce Brown

4.0

It's pretty gory, but not outside of what I could handle (and I'm a medium-level wuss). The world-building is fantastic, and I'm pretty sure that's what's getting Pierce Brown all the raves on this book. The plot is interesting. A lot of people are comparing it to the Hunger Games, but I think it definitely holds its own and plays more like a giant game of Command and Conquer.

I am looking forward to the next book, although I wish authors would write a standalone now and again!!
