Really fun read, hard to put down—really solid character development throughout.

It’s been a long while since a book grabbed me and wouldn’t let me go, but Red Rising did just that. The exploits of Darrow and his rise are incredibly well written, well paced, and well rewarded.

Good

Very good book! Definitely recommend this as a must read. I can’t wait to dive into the rest of the series!

Book was a good and nice to read. Characters were consistent in their choices and environment was set up well.

This is probably my favorite entrance into a series. This book plays like a movie in your head without containing fat. It’s extremely descriptive but lean. The fight scenes are captivating and the characters are beautifully heartbreaking. Imagine a hardcore grown up version of the hunger games set in a more traditional scifi space based universe

Spellbound by a most captivating realm all its own. Could not ensconce myself with this book quickly enough.

I hope you're ready for an emotional roller coaster because this is a good one. I loved every minute of these book. It's almost like I wish I could reread it for the first time just because I know I'll never experience it the same way again. The plot and character work holds the real juice of everything going on here, and Pierce Brown executed both masterfully; making sure to leave enough depth and detail to every character to make them 3D and interesting, while also not going too much into detail that we start to get bored. It's filled with powerful characters, inspiring messages, and some of the best descriptive language l've ever heard. Truly, this an amazingly well written book full of twists and emotional upsets that will have you craving to know what happens next, and it will take all of your willpower to not look up any spoilers as you go. I can't wait to explore more of Pierce Browns work.

This series just took the top place on my list of all time favorite books. The series I used to have in the number one spot was there for years and years and you would never have been able to convince me that one day I’d find something to take its place. I’ve read all 6 books in the Red Rising series 3 times now and I only just discovered them a few months ago. I love this Author and I love this series!

Absolutely amazing. The some of the plot twists are inconceivable. In my opinion, this is a must read.
