Red Rising by Pierce Brown
4.5

Well, this was one hell of a ride.

I wasn’t too happy with the overuse of rape as a plot device and all the many, many characters did my head in at times, but overall I had a bloodydamn great time reading this. The writing is fast paced as hell and it works brilliantly with the story. I loved the techs. I loved the crazy society (and can’t wait to see it crumble to the ground). I absolutely hated that some of my favourite characters died, but that’s just part of the experience.

Most fun I’ve had with a book in a very long time, to be honest.
