This was a fun little backstory for Fitchner, and how he became who he was.

The story is a fast paced action adventure about Fitchner trying to get by despite being the outcast, the black-sheep, yet he excels past his peers. When he falls in love and has a baby with a Red all is good...or so he thinks. When you find out what happens to his wife and kid he must go on a mission to save the ones he loves.

Good: I enjoy the art at parts a lot, gritty and fucked up. I also thought Fitchner had a interesting point of view and gave a little bit more meat to the characters. The fights were fast paced and exciting as well.

Bad: It didn't give any big surprises and if I didn't read it no big loss. I also thought sometimes the art made it really hard to understand what was happening.

This was a fun little add on to the Red Rising series. While not as good as any of the novels it still was solid enough to recommend. A 3 out of 5.
