I love how unpredictable these books are. I always think I have an idea of what’s going to happen and then something I hadn’t even considered happens instead! I also like how the characters aren’t infallible.

Red Rising is brutal, bloody, and fast-paced from start to finish. The storyline, the characters, and the twists make it impossible to put the book down.

A fantastic self-published fantasy that follows Kyris, a nineteen year old thief-for-hire with a unique ability to enter the Gloom, who has been set on getting revenge since he was 11 years old.
I actually originally rated this 4 stars back when I first read it in 2019, but then even a year after finishing it I found myself still thinking about the book regularly and trying to find similar books. So, I realised that no, this is definitely a 5 star read and now I take every opportunity to recommend it.
I would highly recommend this book for anyone who loves a bloody good revenge story and cool magical abilities!
