RED RISING Paperback – 25 September 2014

I love it. Too good. Pierce Brown did a damn good job with this book.

This book started off on a slow phase . But picked up after few chapters . Did not enjoy much but really would like to read the next book to know the journey of Darrow

Grate book to read 5 🌟 book with amazing story

The media could not be loaded. Pierce Brown published this novel in 2014 and I’m reading and listening to it on audible in 2024 . The scenarios , the characters , the social dynamics, the constant struggle of the becoming powerful is so raw and real that it seems Brown could see the future. It’s a tale as old as time really- a divided society, people who work their hardest to earn a simple living - and people who are born with privilege and take advantage of the hard working people. The story is beautifully written , the dialogue so simple yet they leave a mark on your mind. This is not a novel to lazily read and forget- it forced me to look deeper into my own life , my country , my society , the power struggles within my community.I loved this novel and am already reading the trilogy , ‘Golden Son’.

Good

Amazing book... As i expected just a little costly ..... Please make the price low for the other series of red rising i want to buy them too

It's as fast paced as the hunger games and the dialogues challenge that of game of thrones.

This book is in a league of it's own and can't even compare to the other train wrecks like Maze Runner or Hunger Games.I read this book in bits and pieces in the beginning because it was taking a while to pick up, but once it did I couldn't put it down. Specifically from the part Darrow goes to the institute was fast paced, strategic and showed the different facets of humans.In the end, I came to like a lot more characters than I initially expected: Sevro, Mustang, Pax, the Howlers in general, and Darrow himself. The protagonist is not arrogant, full of blind rage or even a complete inconsiderate person. He shows reason, fear, consideration and sees the good and bad in everyone. Most I've liked a character ever. Let's hope the trend continues in the other books.There were no overarching conversations between characters and Darrow knew when to keep his mouth shut or when to avoid talking.I also liked the way the author described the action scenes. Duels where everyone moves as if dancing. Elegant. The way it was written felt very new.Also, the ending was a nice touch. Thinking logically, that was the best course of action for Darrow if he wants to climb faster.P. S. The map in the beginning of the book really helped. I turned to it so many times to understand each time where everyone was when a house was raided.
