Picked up Red Rising that was sat in my backlog for months. Blitzed right through it and now I’m on book 2, Golden Son. Despite the first book getting mixed reviews, I loved it and I heard that book 2/3 are even better so I’m super excited to keep going!
The Mary Sue is a bit overdone though. I thought book 2 was taking it a step back but then it comes back out of literally nowhere with forshadowing that was just, “meh”.
It was a surprise when I discovered it was a trilogy. Then another when I found out there’s a second trilogy after that! I’m going to be busy for a while haha. The first book had a bit of a pacing issue but the 2nd has been moving nonstop. I’m enjoying it a lot! I’d definitely recommend it.
Series aren’t usually a problem for me, once I get hooked I tend to binge through the rest. The sadness hits harder once you finish the last book though as the world you spent several months in comes to an end. Thankfully I’ve got quite a bit to go yet with the Red Rising world. I believe there’s even a seventh book releasing next year?
