Bloody good. A good story with plenty of violence and death.

Fantastic read!. Excellent, spellbinding, thought provoking.

Jaw Dropping. One of the most captivating, and awe inspiring books I’ve ever read! Truly magnificent.

Excellent read. One of the best books I’ve read in years.

Very cool story. So much fun to get involved with this wonderful tale. This will keep you awake at night! Instead of binge watching you will be binge reading!

Lit. What a ride boys

Phenomenal Introduction!. Wow - I bought this on a whim after reading the iBook sample at the airport. Immediately the story hooked, and I had to keep reading. Easily one of the best sci-fi reads I’ve had in recent years, matched maybe only by the Expanse. Super excited to continue this series.

A Grittier Hunger Games. A grittier Hunger Games. A phenomenal opening to what I hope is one of my favorite series ever. But I give it 4 stars (would say 3.5 if possible) because the zigzagging plot twists give the novel a YA feel when it comes to pace. But from everything I’ve heard, the sequels only build on the obvious strengths of Red Rising as Pierce Brown’s writing continues to mature and evolve.

Outstanding. This futuristic space odyssey is one for the ages. Power, control, deception, revenge, death, redemption, love...a tale as old as time anchored to the ancient gods and man’s new home amongst the planets in our solar system. I just finished the trilogy and am now moving to Iron Gold. I highly recommend!

Incredible. Favorite book of all time.

Obsessed. Hands down the best series I’ve ever read

Starts off great and then... hunger games!. The beginning and the setup to the tests was entertaining. The storyline fell off when it felt like I was reliving hunger games. Can’t believe more than half this book was about the test. Literally could have been maybe 10 chapters shorter by trimming the useless game.

2nd time reads even better. There are so many treats and surprises the second time through. Read it the first time; read it again—this is one of the Greats!

Wow. I have heard about this series and never picked it up. Now I can’t put it down. Wonderful story.

Must read!. AMAZING!!

Bait and switch. Disappointing. The story is supposed to be sci-fi about a mining colony on Mars, but 1/3 into the book, it becomes a medieval fantasy game with armor and swords, castles, etc. Bizarre switch. Sort of a Hunger Games ripoff with gaming elements.

Great book. Couldn’t stop reading it ! 10/10

A thrilling read. It’s a great read! The writing style is a little choppy and may not suite the taste of those who prefer more flowy prose, but I think it falls in line with the characters and the world. The plot moves along quickly and the characters are easy to get to know, though the main characters motivations could be more fleshed out. The book also has some weird, alpha male undertones that kind of threw me off, but given the overall “world” of the story, seemed to fit. Overall, it was a great read that I devoured in less than 24hrs.

The best,honestly. Don’t even hesitate, read it!! You can see such awesome character developments, you can feel it. It honestly felt like I was living it.

Rage on. Slow start of a book. Nearly gave up but suddenly it all comes alive. Once this story hits its stride you don’t want to put it down. Can’t wait to to start book two, sleep is over rated.

This transformed me into a reader.. Amazing book. Need a live action film ASAP!

Fantastic. The world, the writing, the characters and the web of insist that this novel entails is what drew me in is why I continue to recommend this book to anyone I can.

Loved it. I first read this serries when i was around 14 and it got me hooked from chapter 1. Every minute of the day i had my nose in this book. My only regret is that ill never be able to read it for the first time again.

“Pick a favorite book.” “One does not simply choose-“ “Red Rising”. I love to read. Ever since I’ve learned how, I’ve been burying my nose in every even halfway decent fantasy or sci-fi book I can find. And for the longest time, there were so many good books I had read that I could never really pick a favorite. There was also the problem of running out of good books to read. Then, by complete accident, I stumbled across the greatest bloodydamn masterpiece ever. I found Red Rising. This book has literally everything- insane character development, a massive, complex, believable world/empire, strategy, philosophy, several metric tons of action, horror, romance, economics/politics, psychology, and a gorydamn truck load of emotion. The first part of the book is slow, sure. And the writing style/lingo takes a little getting used to, but that’s part of what makes this series unique, and if you manage to adjust, incredible. I won’t spoil anything, but the general idea is the society is a color coded system that almost reminds me of communism- each color has a general job, browns are janitors, grays are soldiers, coppers are money grubbers (banks on steroids). Reds are the lowest of the low colors, the miners, and are little better than slaves. Golds are the elite ruling class- not only superior in the caste system, but also genetically the best, almost god-like. They’re supposed to be the best of humanity. Darrow is a red, a miner beneath the surface of Mars. He and his fellow reds live fast, and die young. They spend their days in complete poverty, mining helium-3 all day every day, believing their blood sweat and tears will build a better world for their children- the helium-3 they mine is to be used to terraform the surface of Mars. Darrow is content on his knees, oblivious to the reality of his world. It’s not in his nature to rebel. His father was executed for performing a forbidden dance. And when his wife learns the truth and sings a forbidden song, she’s executed as well (this is the slow part, but it’s important. Suffer through it). This is what finally leads Darrow to an act of rebellion, one that has him executed as well- but for Darrow, death doesn’t take. He’s recruited into a rebel group called the Sons of Ares, a small faction of rebel reds, branded as terrorists by the society. And it is there that Darrow is assigned the task of infiltrating the most elite of the elite- the peerless scarred, the political and military rulers among rulers, golds among golds. Red Rising is a story of rebellion, revolution, and war. No one is essentially the good guy, and no ones the bad guy. And sometimes, the main character is in the wrong and his enemies are in the right. Every single character in red rising is deeply flawed, but each one learns from their mistakes and evolves as the story progresses. They all have high and low points- some more pronounced than others- and this, combined with the highly detailed society they live in, makes the world of Red Rising feel real. The book is like a window into an alternate universe, a possible future. All the negative reviews have something to do with the writing, or the very adolescent view Darrow has. Well guess what, that’s the point. Darrow is sixteen. So stop complaining, slags. In books two and three, he’s older, and has matured. Remember what I said about flaws and character development? The other issue is the comparisons to Hunger Games and Game of Thrones. Elements of both are definitely there, but to say Red Rising is like either of them is like saying bananas and apples are similar because they both grow on trees. Not to mention, Red Rising is just as good, if not better. I could go on and on about Red Rising. I already kind of have. But all in all, anytime I hear someone likes to read, I tell them to read Red Rising. It’s my first recommendation/command to go read EVERY time because it’s just that good. I can not recommend this enough. Seriously, there’s no amount of words in this language, or really any language, that can convey the adequate level of GO READ THIS BOOK. Why are you still reading this review? You should be reading the book. GO READ THE BLOODYDAMN BOOK

Good stuff 👍. A cruel masterpiece. Genuinely one of the most interesting, beautiful, and blood-thirsty things I have read.

Awesome!!. Very well written and complex. Love how the plot feels like an elevated and enhanced dystopian YA novel but the writing style is anything but YA. Impossible to predict, thrilling, smart. Just what I was looking for.

Perfect. Stunning. Immortal. Absolutely breathtaking book. The story. The people. The place. The ideas. It makes you want to change the world.

Fantastic. I love this book

Amazing story. I loved the arc from learning about what the colors represent to seeing our main character rise up the colors while learning about himself.

🤯😱🫠💥. This entire book felt like the last 100 pages of any other book. Great.

What A Ride. I really enjoyed the story that the author created here. Gave real stake to a small event within a galactic story. This book feels so familiar with pieces of many famous stories. A tire popcorn book, so enjoyable, action packed, unique first person perspective. Can’t wait to continue the journey

Great opening chapters. First arc is great, the middle-end drags and the writing kinda goes downhill

Excellent book. Had not read a book in over 10 years, I was recommended Red Rising by a friend. I fell in love within 100 pages. It made me realize how much I had missed out on by not reading books. Darrow is one of the best characters in any show/book/story. Cannot wait to finish the trilogy.

Awesome!!. Fantastic!!!!! Absolutely loved this book. Can’t wait to read the rest!

Is that Wiggins in the woods?. This books is incredible. I could put it down and am not sorry that I didn’t. If you like Ender’s Game you’ll like this. Lessons learned in a controlled environment, when control is taken away!

Incredible book!!!. This is a really good book I absolutely fell in live with it! I was a little worried for a second that it would be a hunger games rip off! But absolutely not! It is really original and has great character development 10/10

The story is interesting but felt unoriginal. Eh. Entertaining but predictable. Misogynistic

Worth the hype!. All the book tubers hype this book up. Well after finishing it, I see why! Definitely became my favorite book. Can’t wait to start the second one!

Heck yeah. This book is every bit as good as my friends said. The level of strategy reminds me of Ender’s Game. If you liked that book, you will like this too. Really well-written.

Couldn’t put it down. Kept me deep in the plot every time. Loved the themes and characters. 10/10

Page turner. Just when you think it’s going your way or how you want, the story takes a turn. I honestly don’t like the ending but will definitely be reading the second book faster than the first.

Yahoo. Mamma Mia my balls

A good series opening.. Pierce Brown’s first novel is a solid start to an epic series. His use of dialogue builds tension with every line, and his description of pain and suffering will have you wincing for the protagonist more than once. It’s not all doom and gloom though! Mr. Brown does an excellent job of layering most scenes, no matter how dark, with a witty humor that is rarely seen in literature. A must read for fans of sci-fi/fantasy action/adventure novels.

Amazing book. Great start to the series, would recommend to anyone!

Stupendous. Part of me thought it would mimic other similar books (Hunger Games) but in my opinion it surpasses them. There were so many seasons I reread just to revel in the moment. Excellent book.

WOW. If the Hunger Games were a Gold, they’d be Red Rising. This book was fast paced, thrilling, tear jerking, smart, surprising, and gripping. I’d read it again right now if it wasn’t a series.

Incredible. This book is one of my favorites, the entire series is phenomenal. Read it.

Everything about this series is great. Just read it you Pixie

Fast and deep. This was a rollercoaster of a read! Fast but deep with many twists and turns. Excellent visuals, strong character development, and tight writing. I will definitely be reading it again! But first off to book two!

What a start to a series…. 5/5… read this book….

I couldn’t put it down. Lots of unexpected turns. Loved it.

Addicting!. Great Book, very cool concept and a story well developed through out the book! Can’t wait to read the next one!

Book Tok never fails. This is an amazing book. The story is fast paced and the characters are extremely likeable, even the antagonists. Parts of the story reminded me of the Harry Potter and hunger games books, which I love. For readers who enjoy fantasy and dystopian worlds, this is for you. Can’t wait to get into the next 5 books!!

Bloodydamn bore. I wanted to like this but it was a total bore. If you’ve never read a Sci fi story in your life, if you’ve never read a fantasy story about the underdog rising above, then this would be a good gateway story to these genres. On the other hand, if you have ever read stories like that then this book will ripoff every cliche and genre trope conceivable. I kept putting the book down out of boredom and frustration over the utter lack of anything original, and also because Pierce Brown’s writing skill is as sophisticated as an average junior high school student.

A captivating blend of Hunger Games, Greco-Roman culture and The Foundation.. Well written and paced. Those who like Iron Widow and the like will be satisfied. Excellent character development that that is intentional and genuine. Underlying themes are just being developed. Very engaging- read it.

Brilliant. What can I say? That was a great story. I have read all the hunger games books, but this was better. Better story, better characters, and better writing. Great work.

Next Big Thing. Short and sweet review. This book is awesome. If you liked hunger games and game of thrones you will like this book. Even if you don't like those you will like this book. It starts quick and once the action starts it does not stop until the very last page. Brown creates an amazingly detailed world filled with vibrantly complex characters that will make you want to read cover to cover without stop.

So good. The whole trilogy is amazing. I'm not a quick reader, but couldn't put these down and finished all 3 in 3 weeks. Puts hunger games to shame. So much more dynamic with thousands of layers!

Thoroughly fun and entertaining. This is the first book review I have ever written. Had to express my appreciation for the joy in reading this book. Definitely a page turner, great action and fully satisfying.

Incredible. My friend recommended this to me and I was skeptical. But I got hooked quickly. This book has a unique perspective on what the future may look like with a rich and interesting story. I wish I could give it more stars.

READ THIS BOOK. I don't write reviews that often, but I just had to say how much I loved this book. The entire series is fantastic.

Loved it!. Reminds me of The Hunger Games. Im about to buy the second one right now haha.

Wow. Wow wow wow. My emotions are troubled. I’m left in deep thought after finishing this book and yearn for more

Interesting Twist on an Old Story. First, I'd like to say that the story is definitely a version of the dystopian/sci-fi genre, and parts of it can be clichéd (but at this point, what isn't?). More importantly, this book is self aware of the genre, in that while it does follow a lot of the same tropes and cycles, it also uses that expected journey to twist around on you. The series is brilliant, and while it does drag in places, the action always picks up when you need it. That said, it is a slow start. You do have to get past a good bit of story to get to the interesting parts, but the beforehand sets the scene and defines the base morals of the main character a lot. I would highly recommend, as I adore this story quite a bit. The books are amazing, and I've hardly seen them do the same thing twice. One of the few series that I nearly cried when I finished.

Fast paced, yet insightful. The main character, Darrow, has lived his entire life under the surface of Mars, doing what all Reds think of as essential work - mining the materials needed to help terra-form the planet. Life in the mines is harsh and short, and the society is strictly divided into a caste system where everyone has there place. A series of events conspire and Darrow finds himself part of a resistance movement, and he is altered to fit into the highest caste - Golds to undermine from within. Darrow is a somewhat unlikely rebel and it was his young wife who found a reason to rebel. He struggles to make sense of this new reality and his anger could be his downfall. Brown's book is fast-paced and violent, yet manages to thread throughout the narrative a complex look at how rulers gain control and subjugate those below, creating a strong empire, yet within the very ideas that allow them to come to power and rule are the seeds of their empire's destruction. This is the first of a trilogy and focus's on Darrow's learning about the true nature of the world he lives in, his transformation from a low Red (the lowest caste) into a Gold, and his introduction to the world of the Gold's and his time at the Institute - a school where Golds compete to gain favor and an internship with the most powerful individuals in society. Despite his appearance and training to behave like a Gold, Darrow still does things in a way the confounds those who run the institute. The characters are well drawn, and the world is rich - from the harsh mines to the fields of battle at the institute, things are well described often in multiple senses. Often the need to build a world can make a novel slow to begin, but here it moves rapidly into the story while making this world real to the audience. The plot was fresh and while there were a few predictable moments, there were plenty of surprises. I look forward to reading the next novel.

Incredible book!!!. This is a really good book I absolutely fell in live with it! I was a little worried for a second that it would be a hunger games rip off! But absolutely not! It is really original and has great character development 10/10

Fantastic!!!!!. Favorite author now.

Don’t bother. Don’t bother spending any money or time on this book. It’s a rambling mishmash of plots and characters with no clear direction. I stopped reading about halfway through, preferring self mutilation to reading one more page.

Excellent, despite typos.. My rating system: 5 stars are reserved for books that totally blow me away. I don’t give too many of these out, since it is almost like giving the book a 100%. It is nearly impossible to write a truly perfect book. 4 stars for books that I would recommend to just about anyone, or, at least, to someone who doesn’t dislike the genre. 3 stars for books that I would only recommend to someone with a strong interest in the particular genre. 2 stars for books that I would be hesitant to recommend to anyone at all, but the book was not a total disaster. 1 star for books that were so terrible or ridiculous for me that I wish I had not wasted time on reading it to begin with.

Incredible. Please read this epic. After the 1st quarter of the book, the story hits hard and doesn’t slow down.

Red Rising. One of the best series I have read.

Masterpiece. A wonderful tale one that keeps you wanting for more.

Great read!. One of my favorite series ever! Totally worth the read.

Amazing. Absolutely loved it

Horrifically Bad. Do you enjoy bad ripoffs of the Hunger Games to the point where its the EXACT SAME BOOK, just poorly written and on mars? Well then have fun with Red Rising! For the rest of you, dont read this book. The characters are so one dimensional and uniteresting that some of them are used as disposable place holders with the sole purpose of driving the plot, and the main characters who actually matter are just so shallow that they can barely maintain the same personality instead of just reacting to whatever BS plot device is thrown their way. Then there's the "sci-fi” bit: ITS NOT THERE. The begining is rife with it, and that was nice, but then its all ripped away, and the characters are tossed into a big dome and told to fight each other, just like a certain other YA book… To summerize, this book is a plagarized piece of garbage that has somehow managed to fool a signifigant amount of people into thinking its original. Also, if you like characters who still have ears and don't get raped, not the book for you.

Sooo goooood. These books are Hunger Games meets Star Wars meets so many other great epic fantasy novels...and in all the right ways. They are interesting and exciting from the first page to the last. Highly recommend!!!

Amazing. One of the best book i've read. No words to express this masterpiece.

Amazing. This is my first time reading a sci-fi fantasy book. It’ll definitely be hard to top it. I’m a huge fan and highly recommend this series!

Red Rising Trilogy. The books are not only an awesome concept about a dystopian future, but the main character goes through epic changes of ego and Id, he actually confronts his mistakes, learns from them, and this alters his choices in the future. This book was suggested to me by an editor I was serving drinks to. Once I started it I couldn’t set it down until 3 in the morning when I finished it. It’s concepts aren’t holier than though convoluted ideas that people need a PHD to understand, it’s simplistic in that it deals with base emotions and choices that are universal when it comes to people. I blasted through the trilogy in about 4 days and even though there are a couple moments that break the immersion, overall it’s a fantastic serious for someone who enjoys science fiction. I recommend.

Amazing series. I had heard mixed reviews about this book before deciding to give it a go. Kicking myself that I waited so long. I absolutely loved the premise of this series and it gave me goosebumps numerous times. Definitely worth picking up

Amazing series. I’ve read all the books so far and all i can say is that I’ve never been more interested in a book series in my life. The first book is a little confusing at first but so take this one a little slowly and don’t skim through or the whole series will make no sense. After you get a feel for the plot of the book you’ll see how everything goes down. I’m a high schooler who never really reads books that much and my teacher recommended this to me and I read the first 3 books in a week. The more recent ones, Dark Age and Iron Gold are slightly different as they are shown from multiple different perspectives. Anyone that enjoys a good fight scene will love this book. Darrow is my favorite character in a book

A Absolute Rollercoaster. From start to finish I could not put this book down. I did not know what to expect before reading but I can say with certainty that this is the best book I’ve read in years. The back of the book mentioned that inspiration was drawn from the Hunger Games series and Game of Thrones. In my opinion the best of both series came together forming the best possible combination. I will recommend this book to anyone who loves a good book and I look forward to reading the rest of the series.

Great read. Interesting story. Good start, got a little slow in the middle, but really vamped up for the end.

Great Book. Absolutely phenomenal. The whole series is great, lots of twists.

Addictice. Every bad review that I’ve seen for this book complains about the ‘language and writing choice’ of Pierce Brown. It is different and takes some adjusting to. But (without going into details), isn’t that what this book is about? The lingo is necessary in order to appreciate that this world does not take place in the same century as us. The book was incredible, a Hunger-Game-like feel with a lot more purposeful action. An easy 5-stars.

Argggg. I tried three times as I love SciFi— finished it but all I can remember is red dust tunnels and slave labor—- Would make a great book for a lit class. Well written

Loved it. Was beautiful written and much better than any dystopian future novel I have read

Can't wait to see what this dude writes next. A lot of reviews compare it to Hunger Games and that is rather misleading. While there is a "deadly game" in the plot (of book 1 only) it really is just a context for setting up the motives of the principal characters for the remaining books. The first book is great, books 2 and 3 are even better. The authoritarian world of the story is oddly believable. It feels like a society that could actually exist. My favorite part of the story is that throughout the entire series no one is precisely a "villain" in the typical sense. No one is reduced to an improbably evil abstract. This greatly helps to keep you in the story.

The best,honestly. Don’t even hesitate, read it!! You can see such awesome character developments, you can feel it. It honestly felt like I was living it.

All Time Favorites. This is one of the best book series I have read. Ever. And I have only been alive for a short time considering but Jesus Christ just read this. At first it’s confusing but by the time you’ve read through Iron Gold your standards for what a good quality book is will have shot up to such astronomical heights that you might even make it to Mars yourself. I recommend this to anybody who likes a fast paced story and who’s looking for solid quality character development. I’d rate this 100/5 stars if I could.

Red Rising Trilogy. First book shows a highly evolved leader. Then boring, redundant, platitudes, moralistic, the same crap over and over. Save your money. I stopped half way through the last book as it was always the same drudging, interminable themes.......

Best book ever. Makes me realize why I love reading

Great book. 10/10 best book I’ve read

The story is interesting but felt unoriginal. Eh. Entertaining but predictable. Misogynistic

Fantastic read!. Excellent, spellbinding, thought provoking.

Bloody good book my Goodman.. The title says it all.

Enders Game meets Hunger Games. One of my favorite new series. The series is a fast paced adventure that is enjoyable, exciting, and fast paced. I thoroughly enjoyed each book in the series and have read it twice already.

Amazing. Its a book you won’t wanna put down

Outstanding. Strategy, psychology, character development, war, and love. This book has everything you could want in a book, and is a better version of Hunger Games or Enders Game

Best series I have read in years. Fresh and well written. Only down side is that it ended in three books. But that is also good as I hate series that drag on and never quite finish. If you like sci-Fi you will like this series. If you are a fan of Horus warhammer series it will feel like home.

Wow. Wow. Grips and pulls you. Absolutely phenomenal.

Starts off great and then... hunger games!. The beginning and the setup to the tests was entertaining. The storyline fell off when it felt like I was reliving hunger games. Can’t believe more than half this book was about the test. Literally could have been maybe 10 chapters shorter by trimming the useless game.

Red rising. This is the best book on the face of the earth

Exciting read!!. I’m glad I didn’t listen to those who gave the book a bad review because of the writing style. Yes, it’s different than I am used to. Yet aren’t we all different? I extremely enjoyed the story, the characters and the twists.... looking forward to the next book...

Wow. The book was excellent with climatic points through the entire story. It reminded me of Hunger Games except on Mars and written from a mans point of view. I would recommend all the books in the series as it just gets better and better.

“I would have lived in peace, but my enemies brought me war.” - Red Rising. A friend recommended me this book to read and I wasn’t very impressed with the concept or anything he had told me, but I started to read it and I fell in love. I was hooked from the first line, (featured above) although I will admit the first few chapters are a little slow. Once it picks up it does not slow down until the series is over. This book had my adrenaline pumping, sweating, and shouting expletives in public places. The first book is a good peek inside this world, but the rest of the series is so much better. I’ve re read this entire series 3 times in the last year and a half, I literally can’t put it down!
