Red Rising – A Well-Written, Engaging Start to a Series
Red Rising is a fast-paced, well-written novel that blends sci-fi, political intrigue, and raw survival in an engaging way. The writing style is immersive, keeping the momentum high without feeling rushed. The world-building is intriguing, balancing dystopian elements with a sense of scale and history that makes the setting feel lived-in.
What stands out most is how gripping the story is—once it gets going, it’s hard to put down. The stakes feel real, the conflicts intense, and the characters complex enough to keep you invested. While it doesn’t quite reach that perfect level for me, it’s a strong opening to a series, and I’m genuinely excited to see where it goes next.
