Red Rising is an adventurous, dark and tense book that follows a similar plot you would expect in a dystopian read. You have essentially your chosen one, a plot for overthrowing an unfair system, and an epic journey to basically infiltrating the higher ups to fight for freedom.

While that is the basic plot, what Red Rising did that elevated the generic timeline is by being very well-written and thought out. The strategy and layers behind the actions of our main character is memorable. The details written into this book made it come to life. The sharp and blunt sentences used really punches you emotional to the point where you now become invested. 

There's always a point in the book where it fully catches your attention and the end of the first section did it for me. As the story progresses, it got better and better. At the end I was silently screaming at no one because I was stressed out for our main character. Great world and character building.

The only thing where I was struggling a bit was the quick info dump in the beginning of the book. It took me a while to get into it as well and I was worried that I may end up disliking it. I am glad to say, that was not the case.

It has been a while where I've read a Dystopian sci-fi series and Red Rising has so far hit the spot. I can't wait to read Golden Son because I had so many of you tell me that  that was your favorite one out of the entire series. I'm very excited.
