Red Rising by Pierce Brown

“Raw, unforgiving, brutal, human. Breaks me in the best way every time I read it. Watch a flawed, broken man claw his way up from rock bottom and develop as a genuine human hero would. No frills, myriad of mistakes—-be ready for your heart to be ripped out because PB does NOT pull his punches.”

“a good beginning to an amazing series! every character is so well done. there are six books (awaiting the final book release). somehow the plot will pull you in deeper with every chapter you read!”

“8/10 like reading hunger games but im 26 and the world is even closer to ending”
