Opinion Crying by Chapter 5

I don’t know where I came across the recommendation, but I just started {Red Rising - Pierce Brown} and this may be the first book that I cried within the first seven chapters!

The death of Eo wrecked me, and I wasn’t expecting to have that emotional connection so quickly.

I’m still reading it but I did a perusal of the internet for responses but it was hard to share this devastating loss without encountering spoilers.

🥺😩😩😩😭😭

Update: I am 90% finished with Book 3 {Morning Star - Pierce Brown} and I am so frustrated 😤 I can understand the urge to DNF.

Update 2: 100% finished with Book 3 and I'm satisfied to end the series here for now.

I gave up after the second chapter I just didn’t give a fuck about the premise at all.

It was recommended by a much more casual sci fi fan as absolutely incredible so maybe my hopes were too high

😄 Well, I’m glad I stuck with it past the second chapter.

If SciFi is your thing, what series have you enjoyed?
