Red Rising, by Pierce Brown

LOVED this ambitious debut novel. A new twist on dystopian… the action-and there is lots of hang-nail chewing action-is set on Mars. Darrow, a hell-diver in the lowest-colored red class (think rainbow caste system), discovers what he’s been told all his life is a lie. In order to make his martyred wife’s dream a reality, he must become his worst enemy, a Gold, and then defeat the best of the best at their own game… a vicious game of capture the flag in a medieval-like setting.

Red Rising’s a recipe for fun and many hours of reading adventure with ingredients from some of my favorites: Harry Potter, Hunger Games, Game of Thrones, Divergent, Avatar, and more!

If you’ve read Red Rising, let me know what you thought in the comment section.

HATE that I have to wait for the sequels!
