Del Rey Red Rising

Wonderful book... was hooked every second I read it

Can not recommend this book enough.

took me 6 months to get into it. it was 60 pages in and on and off. once i got past that page 70…lets just say i finished the whole series now. hunger games plus space opera. def recommend

this book, unlike other books I have ordered, wasn't covered in bubble wrap so it came slightly damaged, which I was disappointed about, but at the end It's a book.

the book is in good condition but no bubble wrap.

I know this isn't gonna go down well with the book community but I don't care... This story is overrated.

Came in perfect condition. Exactly as advertised. I'm very happy.

Book came in perfect condition.

Good book

I'm so glad that I got this book as the introduction to my first reading spree in years. The first maybe 100 pages can feel a little bit slow, as usual with in-depth stories that need foundation, but then it's just amazing. I was mindblown by the environments that is showcased and, being on the 4th book now, I still think about this first one a lot.

Fora a parte de que o livro chegou um pouco amassado a história me prendeu desde o começo, recomendo muito.

I absolutely loved *Red Rising*! If you enjoyed *The Hunger Games*, I think you will love this book too! It has that same intense, dystopian feel, with plenty of action, suspense, and unexpected twists that keep you wanting to read just one more chapter. The storyline is exciting, the characters are interesting, and I found myself completely hooked. I love books that pull you into another world, and this one definitely delivers! It reminds me of *The Hunger Games*, but it has its own unique story that makes it stand out.I highly recommend *Red Rising* to anyone who loves dystopian fiction, competition, survival, and a story that keeps you on the edge of your seat. I can't wait to read the next book in the series!

A visceral, high-octane introduction to a dystopian universe that feels both hauntingly familiar and grandly operatic. Set on a terraformed Mars, the story follows Darrow, a Red laborer mining helium-3 for a future he believes he is building. The narrative begins with a crushing revelation: the surface has been habitable for centuries, and Darrow’s people are enslaved to support the decadent Gold caste. This betrayal sparks a revenge-driven mission as Darrow undergoes a grueling transformation to infiltrate the Golds and dismantle their Society from within. The novel’s strength lies in its relentless pacing and brutal world-building. Once Darrow enters the Institute—a proving ground where young Golds wage war to earn their status—the story shifts from a "chosen one" trope into a savage study of leadership and survival. Brown doesn't shy away from the horrific costs of war; the stakes feel lethal, and Darrow’s internal conflict is palpable. He must adopt the cold, calculating traits of his oppressors to defeat them, risking his own humanity for the sake of justice. While drawing inspiration from The Hunger Games and Lord of the Flies, it distinguishes itself through a rich Roman-inspired aesthetic and philosophical weight. The supporting cast is equally compelling, featuring the enigmatic Mustang and the volatile Sevro—the kind of loyalist who proves you haven't lived until you get yourself a friend that will hide in a dead horse for you. These allies challenge Darrow to look beyond vengeance toward a new social order. 🍵Final Verdict A gripping exploration of power, sacrifice, and the morality of revolution. Red Rising is a rare debut that manages to be both a page-turning epic and a thoughtful commentary on class struggle. It sets a formidable foundation for the series, leaving readers eager to see if a man born in darkness can truly bring the dawn.
