An absolute must-read!

Granskad i Storbritannien den 6 april 2018

Verifierat köp

So, I'll be upfront here, I loved this book! In fact I loved it so much that I couldn't concentrate on anything else once I'd finished it so immediately bought and read book 2 because it was the only thing I wanted to read. I've also bought book 3 but am holding off on that because I don't want to get into the position of reading book 4 and then having to wait months to find out what happens next.

This book grabbed me from the first page and wouldn't let me go. The characters are all richly detailed without extraneous detail used on those who are only in the story for a page or two. I felt like I was with Darrow every step of his journey, felt every emotion he felt and wanted the same goals as he did because I could understand why they were so important to him.

The locations, while not obviously places we are familiar with, felt alive to me, the descriptions were so clear and well-written. I read this story on my kindle and have since bought the paperback and therefore seen the map that is in it, something I didn't have in my ebook. The descriptions were so clear throughout the story that my imagined layout that I had in my mind was almost identical to the map in the book, that's how good the writing is.

This isn't a non-violent book but I felt the violence there was fitted with the story. It's also not a book with a complete ending as it is the first in the series, however, the ending does tie things up to an extent so there is a feeling of an ending of sorts which I liked and don't always get with books that are part of a series.

If you're one of the few people on the planet who have not yet read this book then I would urge you to give it a go. It might not be your usual genre but why not step outside of it and try something different. Life can be boring if we never try new things, at least occasionally.

For anyone who wants a fast paced, well-written read that will keep them glued to the book for hours then I highly recommend this one. The only regret I have in reading this book is that I didn't do it sooner.

Not my thing sadly

Granskad i Storbritannien den 28 december 2019

Verifierat köp

This book is so far out of my comfort zone that I was in two minds about reading it but in the end I was swayed by so many positive reviews that I went against my niggling doubts. It turned out that my niggles were correct and this book wasn't to my taste. I noted that a lot of reviewers had issues with the language used and way the story was laid out. I can't say that I had any issues with the way the book was written or the writer style, to be honest, though I can see why it annoyed some people. But my first issue was with Darrow. I just didn't much like him. I didn't hate him or anything but I pretty much felt nothing each time he had to face trouble. I just didn't feel any emotional connection to him as our hero. His wife Eo did annoy me. Her dumb choices made me want to scream and I so much disliked what she chose to do and her reasons for doing it. In the early pages, it was only the drunken uncle that I liked. I felt that and the guy who operates on Darrow were the ones with real personality.

The characters in the Sons of Ares didn't much interest me either. They felt like cardboard cutouts and there was never any warmth from them, especially with what they wanted Darrow to do and I read very mixed reviews about the people he meets later. As much as I wanted to see the games (I was a big Hunger Games fan), I just couldn't persuade myself to plough on through the detailed descriptions and slow plot to actually get there. I found his initial lifestyle and that transformation section way too slow for my personal tastes. I just didn't feel enthused with it. If I had cared more for Darrow and the other characters, maybe I could have ploughed through but I wasn't really interested enough to try. I know a lot of people loved this series and I can see why they did but sadly it didn't work for me.

It is a great book! It has a bit of everything: action, drama, mythology... :)

Granskad i Storbritannien den 2 januari 2019

Verifierat köp

First, the delivery of the book(paperback) was fast and in good condition (new with no scratches).

About the book, I really liked it! I would say I was a bit underwhelmed at the start, I didn't know what was happening with all the new words (for example: clawdrills) and all the drama and injustice got me a bit depressed but then it started to take pace and a lot happens... Some of the things I saw them coming, others not at all...When I reached three quarters I couldn't put it down, I had to know.

About the plot, I really don't want to say much to avoid spoilers but I would say it is a dystopian with a lot of action and mythology that keeps you guessing all the time, it is very well done.
I agree with other reviews that there are some ideas that had been used in other books but to me, that is not necessarily a bad thing because it is the way those ideas are combined and the new ideas added that makes this book so great and enjoyable. Also, it treats well a lot of tough themes and has good morals.

About the characters, they felt real to me and they matured through the book through the experiences which I appreciate. Moreover, they didn't feel childish though they are relatively young. I really loved the main characters and I despised their enemies during all book, it was a rollercoaster of emotion. Especially, I liked that Darrow is smart and doesn't do silly things even though it hurts him sometimes. Also, I like that the situations where he gets involved don't have a clear right choice. It makes you think, what I would do in his skin?

Overall, it is a very good book and I didn't have any issues with the delivery!

Red and Gold, Red and Gold.

Granskad i Storbritannien den 2 juni 2019

Verifierat köp

*POTENTIAL SPOILERS*

“Funny how a single word can change everything in your life."
"It is not funny at all. Steel is power. Money is power. But of all the things in all the worlds, words are power.”

Tim Gerard Reynolds made this book for me. I read it myself last year, and I couldn’t quite grasp the brilliance of this story. I found the change in Darrow too much, but when you get to hear his inner thoughts as himself, it makes it different. You get to hear the divide between Red and Gold. Not only that but Tim read with emotion, something that I’m so glad of because he made me feel Darrow's sorrow, his fear and his rage.

There was a scene towards the end where he spoke of being the hope of his people and it actually gave me chills. The song at the end of the audio broke me and I cried my damn heart out.

If you like audios, I highly recommend this one. Be prepared for the feels.

The story itself is honest, and brutal. It’s a story of a world divided into colour based on your worth. Gold, Pink, Red… The high colours rule and live in luxury while the rest make the world liveable for them. Like Darrow I feel a deep rage towards the Golds but then, not all Golds are the same.. Sevro.. Roque.. That makes Darrow’s mission even harder.

I love that it wasn’t just about his mission, or about learning the lessons or war but also about trust, hope, love and what a people are capable of with power.

I cannot wait to see where this series goes, if it’s anything like this I know my heart is going to be hurting.

“Personally, I do not want to make you a man. Men are so very frail. Men break. Men die. No, I’ve always wished to make a god.”

Some good bits, some boring bits

Granskad i Storbritannien den 26 juli 2016

Verifierat köp

To be honest, I found it hard to give a rating for ‘Red Rising’. There were some really good bits in the novel, but these were counteracted by some bits that I found boring. During these latter bits I was tempted to put the book down and pick up something else from my TBR list.

I was divided on the book as a whole, but especially in the opening. On the one hand it is very good at establishing the grim and awful world Darrow lives in:

‘On Mars there is not much gravity. So you have to pull the feet to break the neck. They let the loved ones do it.’

‘I’m looking for the pitvipers that curl through the darkness seeking the warmth of my drill. They’ll eat into your suit too, bit through the shell and then try to burrow into the warmest place they find, usually your belly, so they can lay their eggs.’

Brown establishes the dystopian nature of the world very quickly. However, at times in the opening I wanted to shout at the book, ‘Show, don’t tell!’ Some of the information is left for the reader to discover – about how the caste system actually works and about the Golds – but some information about Darrow, his life and his relationships is just plonked down. The vital information we are left to discover actually makes the novel confusing. I also found it irritating how there are lots of terms in Darrow’s world that have a capital letter midword. This is a common trait in dystopian novels that is sometimes unnecessary.

Additionally, while there is action and tension in the beginning – Darrow is drilling and it is dangerous – it didn’t come across particularly vividly for me and didn’t capture my imagination. I wasn’t picturing what was happening the way I do with most other books. There wasn’t dialogue for a while; it was more reflective and I found the first person present narration dragged slightly. It’s definitely not one of the best openings I have read. I felt it could have been punchier and it did not really grab me or make me want to read on.

However, I did read on and from 6 percent the book really picked up for me. I thought the section from 6 to 13 percent was fantastic: it was dramatic, tense, moving, and I loved Eo. She had such vitality and passion when she made her speech to Darrow:

‘Death isn’t empty like you say it is. Emptiness is life without freedom, Darrow. Emptiness is living chained by fear, fear of loss, of death. I say we break those chains. Break the chains of fear and you break the chains that bind us to the Golds, to the Society.’

I also really enjoyed the detail in Darrow’s transformation and that bit did really capture my imagination and it interested and intrigued me. Darrow as a character, however, wasn’t actually that great for me. I didn’t root for him in the way I have rooted for other characters recently. He was okay, but he didn’t have any obvious flaws or defining characteristics, so he wasn’t especially memorable or vivid. In fact, none of the characters aside from Eo actually stood out for me, apart from Mustang and Sevro who did at select times.

As well as enjoying the description of Darrow’s transformation, I liked the twists concerning Titus at the end of chapter 28 and the one concerning Mustang at the end, as well as the fact that Darrow and Mustang’s budding relationship was described subtly and developed slowly (none of the dreaded ‘instalove’!) Darrow’s stand off with Jackal was very tense and dramatic, as was the trap where someone pretended to be Mustang to fool Darrow.

In my opinion, overall, ‘Red Rising’ was a mix of very good sections and less good sections. I won’t be rushing to read the sequel, but if I have time I will probably check it out because I think that it might be one of those series that gets better as it goes along.
