Red Rising

The Will of the Many. I’m about to start Red Rising series as it’s similar to it.

The Red Rising saga is something I stumbled on by chance and slowly consuming it for relaxation. It is a great and often extremely fast paced pop sci-fi (if there is a genre called that). Lots of action, interesting world and hierarchy with political maneuvers often turning into bloodbaths. There is a big quality improvement starting from book 4, where the focus goes from the constant action to flesh out the characters still alive.

WoT is great, albeit a bit slow in the middle. But the last three books are just amazing, Brandon Sanderson was hired to finish the series and he did it expertly. A great series I can recommend is Red Rising from Pierce Brown (book 6 just came out, one more to go).

Red Rising is guily pleasure. First three books are for teens so it’s a bit naive but then it turns to be more serious… Anyway i loved it more than i probably should have. For some reason one cant stop put these down.

I agree! One of the few books I picked up and knew after the first few pages that I'd like it a lot.

Red Rising is great, I love the whole capture-the-flag esque storyline - it might be my most favorite out of the whole series.

the feed: A Novel had a big impact on me as a teen, it's a relatively short read Amazon has turned it into a Prime Video Original, which I have yet to watch since Episode 1 didn't strike me as great. Edit: I think the best sci-fi fiction book I have ever read is Red Rising, it is a newer book.

> I was introduced to sci-fi last year and pretty much stuck to it throughout 2018. If you're looking for additional science fiction suggestions: 1. American War by Omar El Akkad 2. Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel 3. Artemis by Andy Weir 4. Daemon by Daniel Suarez 5. Old Man's War by John Scalzi 6. Dark Matter by Blake Crouch 7. Red Rising series by Pierce Brown

Here are a couple I like : - Seveneves: A really great hard sci-fi. Very thought provoking ideas and excellent plot! Warning this is a heavy themed book. Also keep in mind that at about 3/4 in the novel there's a conclusion to the main story; the rest of the novel feels rushed and doesnt keep up; you won't miss anything if you just skip it. - The Expanse series (starting with Leviathan wakes). A very good series. It has a light tone and mainly focuses on characters. Some books are better than the others. If you liked the 1st one then you wont regret reading the others. Not much philosofy of hard sci-fi ideas so probably near to your liking. - Rendezvous with Rama: Probably my favorite Arthur Clarke novel. The plot may not be so interesting but the ideas presented make up for it. - Red rising series: This is a great read, the plot feels something like a GoT of scifi; although the setting could also be considered a fantasy one. This is a plot intensive series but not many scifi philosophical ideas. Probably good for your linking.…

Recently finished the Red Rising trilogy and would recommend to anybody who likes fantasy. Not as well developed as Brandon Sanderson's works but definitely a trilogy to follow if you've caught up with Sanderson's works and want something to scratch that fantasy itch while you're waiting for the next book of his many series.

I would recommend Red Rising. A very good read!

* Johnny Got His Gun, by Dalton Trumbo. Powerful anti-war story. * Vagabonding, by Rolf Potts. Shaped my views on hard work and travel. * 1984, by George Orwell. Brilliant and terrifying. * The Power of Now, by Eckhart Tolle. Overcoming mental pain through consciousness. * Planetwalker, by John Francis. Inspired me to walk and put myself into things more. * Pure enjoyment: Snow Crash (Neal Stephenson), Ready Player One (Ernest Cline), Watchmen (Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons), Red Rising trilogy (Pierce Brown). Honorable mention: The Water Knife (Paolo Bacigalupi).

I ripped through Red Rising and Golden Sun last month based on a buddy's recommendation. Morning Star is my early Christmas gift. It's an absolute page-turner of a series.

I second this my goodman. Fantastic "story" books, not really literature. But amazing books nonetheless.
