#2 - Red Rising
I wanted to like this more than I did. I really enjoyed RED RISING. I understand why the story took the direction it did but it lost me during the moments of battle. I think one of the key skills of Brown is the ability to write relationships and that was the hook for me throughout RED RISING and GOLDEN SON. I found his quieter scenes to be more compelling. That doesn't mean I didn't love the intrigue and machinations throughout the story thus far and I will be reading the third book in this series. I also believe that Brown has a great complex character in Darrow and the exploration of his inner conflict makes for more captivating reading.
4/5
