It just isn't very well written. Perhaps I am the wrong audience.
Characters seem to do things without no prior knowledge or experience. Things happen in a moment that would take a lot of time and effort. If it were a film it would be 80% montage. The characters don't make much sense.
Frank Herbert spent 6 years developing the universe Dune was set in. The "Red Rising" universe is "plausible-sounding" but not very believable. It reads how someone unfamiliar with the genre would think Dune was. It's not original; it doesn't bring anything new to the table.
Read this book if you're thinking about writing a novel and don't think you're good enough yet.
