Red Rising by Pierce Brown
5.0
Once in a while, you stumble on a book. A book so fine and divine that you can not help but love it. Red rising is that book! Ohh the prose! The politics! Everything! Red rising was compared to the hunger games! I don't get it, it is more. This! This was epic. I'm so happy and overjoyed!!
We follow Darrow, who is a "red" and is pretty much contented with his life, but the loss of someone pivots him to find out he is being lied too. So what does he do?! He enters the Gold society as a spy of the red rebellion and plays their game. Ohh he plays so well. We get to see his inner conflict, his demons, and the friends he makes along the way. All this for revenge. Does he succeed? In a way. Well, he is getting there.......
My only small issue with this was that he, somehow, always wants to stand on the moral ground. I can understand that. But "my lord", you have killed before. That moral pedistle is gone, my good sir. So just sit down. Finally in summary everything comes down to 4.79 stars
