Review – Red Rising

[image error]I have a lot of mixed feelings about this book. The beginning felt unique and refreshing, and I was looking forward to getting to know Darrow in the context of his family and their society. Then his wife Eo is fridged, Darrow is physically modified to make him part of a superhuman race, and then the book becomes a weird combination of Divergent and The Hunger Games.

There were parts that I enjoyed, and I did like that Darrow was allowed to fail, to be betrayed, and to be taught harsh lessons....
