By far the bleakest Red Rising book that is probably the most realistic depcition of war and its aftermath that I've ever read. This is the book that will make or break Red Rising fans on if they want to continue with Darrow's adventures in the sequel series. Me? I can't wait.

Keith Yagerman Hello Mike, just wondering how I would go about getting my science fiction novel reviewed by you? Feel like your opinion would be a true test of my place in this arena. You or your people can contact me with a private message if you're interested. Have a nice day.
