Red Rising by Pierce Brown

5.0

All fantasy readers NEED to read this series. I cannot stress this enough!

This book is a masterwork! I'm not sure why I haven't heard more about this book before now. Without giving anything away, this book is a smashing together of the Hunger Games, Ender's Game, Ready Player One, and Uglies Series.

Darrow is a young man who lives on a futuristic Mars. Where his job is to terraform Mars into an inhabitable plant for the race of humans who can no longer live on Earth. The supplies given to them by the Silver's is not enough to sustain him or his family, but they continue on for the good of humanity. He continues to drill into the red earth to mine H3.

His world is turned on it's head when he finds out not all is as it appears.

I'm so excited to read the next one.
