Red Rising by Pierce Brown
5.0
5 stars for a gripping YA read that wrings your heart dry and freezes you with terror. I ended 2016 with this book with a fantastic book!
-
Darrow is a Red Helldiver deep beneath Mars who mines to make the planet habitable. Except after a tragic death, he learns that his people have been lied to and that Mars has been inhabited for years by Golds.
-
Undercover, Darrow must infiltrate the institute for Gold teenagers in order to gain enough power for an uprising. But Darrow isn't ready for how ruthless and hungry these Golds are.
-
I finally finished this book after starting in September! The writing has a blunt and eloquent quality that reminds me of Khaled Hosseini's. @piercebrownofficial creates a world that is gritty and inspiring. Scenes of hiding in dead wolves, wearing skinned scalps and amputating are not for the faint hearted!
-
It was amazing to see how Darrow grows from a stubborn teenager into something fierce, how he passionately loves and fiercely fights.
-
I can't wait to follow Darrow's adventures in Golden Son.
