I spent more time than I usually do between finishing this book and writing my review. I am one of those people who knows exactly how I feel about a book the second I finish it and can write an honest review within minutes. This one I had to sleep on.

I was so late to the game, reading this novel that I honestly thing a synopsis would be a waste of time, so let's go ahead and just skip straight to the opinionated portion of this review.

I loved this book it was so fast paced and so very interesting I could not put it down the further I got into it the better it got. I liked all of the characters Darrow the most he is so very interesting in his motives and everything else about him. I loved the story how it flowed and how it all made sense, in the end, it was really well written. So overall I really liked this book will be finishing this series as soon as I can.

Amazing. It's been forever since I loved a book so much. My reading habits have completely changed these past two years and while I read so much less, Red Rising was an all time favorite. I read it so quickly and the next book is on the way. The characters, the pace, the feelings and plot were on another level.

I have gone back to reading in French (my native language) and the translation was perfect. These past few months, I've also stopped listening to audiobooks even though I have hundreds on ...more
