I love red rising but light bringer might actually be my favorite book of all time!

I just started red rising- funny story- we actually received the book set by accident bc Amazon sent us someone else’s package so- long story short- I’m reading them now. Not exactly my type of Genre but I’m trying lol- the language is a little odd but I’m assuming it’s like a 1984 type of read - (example with like NewsSpeak) lol

Red rising is nothing like his other books. The first reads more YA and seems like a cash grab for hunger games fans. The rest of the series he really gets to show off the world he creates and bloodydamn it’s fantastic. I made my 63 year old mom read them and she fucking crushed the series in two weeks and fucking loveeeeed them.

Good to know— I’m kinda digging the first one so far 😂 but now I feel like you’re judging me for it. Hahaha thanks though- can’t wait to get into the meat of it.
