Topic: Red Rising

Not A Huge Fan Of Sci-Fi and decided to try out Red Rising by Pierce Brown because a lot of people said it was really good. I’m about an hour in and having a hard time. It’s one of those books where you walk into the world and have to “pretend” to know everything about it and as you gradually make progress, you learn more. It’s slow paced and hard to read. Any suggestions on if it’s worth reading? Or if it gets better?

I highly recommend the audiobook if you stick with it. It is masterfully done. I think the hardship is worth it though. The main character is one of those leaders you would die for and the side characters are just as lovable. It is one of just a few seires were every book is 5 stars in my opinion. There is a lot of camaraderie and many twist and turns.

Amanda Martin It was DNF for me. I got to about the middle and it was too political for me? Dunno maybe that's just my take
