Narration As Books Red Rising (Red Rising Saga #1)
"I live for the dream that my children will be born free," she says. "That they will be what they like. That they will own the land their father gave them.""I live for you," I say sadly.
Eo kisses my cheek. "Then you must live for more."
Darrow is a Red, a member of the lowest caste in the color-coded society of the future. Like his fellow Reds, he works all day, believing that he and his people are making the surface of Mars livable for future generations.
Yet he spends his life willingly, knowing that his blood and sweat will one day result in a better world for his children.
But Darrow and his kind have been betrayed. Soon he discovers that humanity already reached the surface generations ago. Vast cities and sprawling parks spread across the planet. Darrow—and Reds like him—are nothing more than slaves to a decadent ruling class.
Inspired by a longing for justice, and driven by the memory of lost love, Darrow sacrifices everything to infiltrate the legendary Institute, a proving ground for the dominant Gold caste, where the next generation of humanity's overlords struggle for power. He will be forced to compete for his life and the very future of civilization against the best and most brutal of Society's ruling class. There, he will stop at nothing to bring down his enemies... even if it means he has to become one of them to do so.

That was teenage angst wrapped in a shiny new package, cashing in on the popularity of this genre.You think youve read about evil futuristic regimes? Nope, those were one dimensional villains that will look cartoony compared the assholes in this book.You think youve seen hurt and suffering and despair and heartache? Youve seen nothing.You thinkBrave pioneers, always remember that obedience is the highest virtue. Above all, obedience, respect, sacrifice, hierarchyIts been quite a while I last dove into a science fiction series but Red Rising definitely was worth it! This book was so well made and always forced me to think ahead, to anticipate what would come next and to try to figure out how the MC would handle the situation! Just like Darrow I constantly found myself wondering who was going to stab him in the back and who would try to
2nd read:I'm a dumbass. I fully admit to being a dumbass. I don't know what the hell I was doing the first time I read this book..because I gave it 3.5 stars. After reading so many shitty books this year I know now what a great book this really is.This time it gets it's full five stars. Five frigging, huge, screaming stars. Stars for SeVRo, Pax, Mustang and the rest of these characters. 1st read: When I was a dumbass.Unpopular opinion time. I'm sorry fangirls. I just didn't love this book. I
4.5 ⭐Weeks after I started this buddy read with Fares I finally finish way late because Im useless. Enjoyed reading with you bud - please don't give up buddy reading with me forever! I am the spark that will set the worlds afire. I am the hammer that cracks the chains. Well bloodydamn! This was fantastic! Full of violence and secrets, politics and betrayals, all tied up with intricate and believable world building.Darrow is a Red. The Reds live on Mars and work as miners. It is hard and
Actual rating: 2.5 Darrow. Come here. Come. He grabs my shoulder and pulls me in. Others may have failed. But youll be different, Darrow. I feel it in my bones. I'm sorry, was I supposed to feel something?I suppose boredom is a feeling. Not a single tear was shed. Not for a single instance was a single emotion heightened. It was by no means a bad book, but the message got lost in the telling, and there is just. So. Much. Telling. The writing is fantastic, but the plot just didn't work for me.
Well. That was a hell of a ride! Fantastic. Action-packed. Love to love, and sometimes hate, all of the characters we meet. I need MORE!I can't believe it has taken me SO long to get to this series, but I'm so glad I finally have.
