Red Rising by Pierce Brown

dark emotional hopeful reflective sad tense medium-paced

1.0

I want to clarify, I enjoyed this book. The story was unique, world building was solid, the main character was lovely. However, the author uses the classic trope of every single woman in this story is either murdered or SA’d to give the main character something to fight for. I had a lot of really high hopes going in because this book was so highly recommended, but I cannot stand reading any work by an author who isn’t capable of writing women any other stories.
