quick read, collection of the 6 volumes, a prequel to the first series - was hoping this would be a more expansive prequel but essentially just tells the beginnings of one character. it was decent, non-essential.
I received a Kindle Arc from Netgalley in exchange for a fair review.
A little backstory on this graphic novel, it is a prequel to Pierce Brown's Red Rising Series and revolves around one of the subsidiary characters in the 4 novel story, However, other characters that are in the Red Rising series are featured. That being said, this graphic novel can be read on it's own but the reader will not get the nuances had they read the entire 4 book story beforehand. Furthermore, I think Brown's great writing is missing here. It doesn't have the same detail that the novels have. It seems much flatter. If you are a diehard fan of the Red Rising series, absolutely read this. Otherwise, you might skip it till you read the novels.
