Red Rising

You know I really love a book when I start pushing it on all of my reader friends. I keep telling everyone that Red Rising is a mix between The Hunger Games, Ender's Game, and Age of Empires - and that's really the best description I can give. It has a little bit of romance but not the kind that get annoying or ends up being the main focus. It has a little bit of warfare but not the kind that's overly boyish and hard to understand. And it has the fight for power that shows a society's weakness and builds upon the hope of civilization. There's so much emotional turmoil and action in this book that seamlessly winds together in a fast-paced twisty-turny story. I absolutely loved everything about it.

I almost didn't read this because I thought it was going to be just another YA dystopian series (blah)... but it is definitely unlike any of the other dystopian craze books. Give it a chance. You won't regret it.
