A Review of Red Rising

Red Rising

By Pierce Brown

This story was challenging and interesting. I don't believe its a good idea for any author, including the one of this book, to write in the present tense. It made the story hard to read. I found myself reading certain words again but in the past tense. The use of present tense for me distracted from the story.

Now! On to what I did like about this book. I like the way Red Rising's society is set up. The use of colors and wealth creates a great atmosphere for class warfare. I felt for the protagonist. I cheered for the protagonist. 

Ultimately, I could not follow this story to the end.
