I was excited to read Red Rising, and while it was entertaining and well written, it dropped the ball in a few places. Too much telling, not enough showing. Darrow was too “perfect.” I'm on the fence about continuing the series.
I'm already not the biggest YA fan, so it's my own fault for thinking this book would change my opinion.
This was brilliantly written. It's the third book by Wendig that I've read and I am still surprised by how well he writes his characters. They all seem very real to me. The story is fantastic and multi-layered with an interesting reflection of reality. I can't wait to dive into Wayward.
