Red Rising

Not as well developed as Brandon Sanderson's works but definitely a trilogy to follow if you've caught up with Sanderson's works and want something to scratch that fantasy itch while you're waiting for the next book of his many series.

I went in expecting nothing and almost abandoned half way through the first book as it seemed like a Hunger Games / Divergent rip off (and I didn't even like either of those particularly), but holy crap after about half way into the first book I was hooked.

This is a great read, the plot feels something like a GoT of scifi; although the setting could also be considered a fantasy one.

That trilogy is like the roman empire in space, but the characters are what really make it.

Just finished Red Rising, which I could not put down. Kept feeling like it was on a good arch, then exceeding expectations.

It may feel like an ordinary young adult novel, however, especiall after during the 2nd book (and through the duration of the 3rd one) it really hooks you up with its story and characters; it feels like a Game Of Thrones in sci-fi; totally recommended.

So much fun, so many characters and plot twists and emotions and gains and losses. I loved every second reading these books and they have restored my faith in modern writing.
