In the series. I hit a struggle after the first half of book 3 and 5 was a slog for me.

The first two books are thrilling!

Red Rising had some excellent world building and I really enjoyed the early books. The further along it went, the less I enjoyed, but that may be me. I found myself lost a few times and Brown keeps on chugging.

Thanks for writing this (and putting yourself through the pain). I picked up the ebook years ago and tried starting it, and found it really difficult to wade through. I liked the premise, it took its sweet time getting to it, and once it was there I felt…whelmed. Not overwhelmed, not underwhelmed, just whelmed.

Usually that’s not so bad, but coupled with everything else you’ve pointed out about the writing style I’m glad I didn’t force myself to finish now.

Yeah…might be better from a tamer instance, lemmy.ml or beehaw or something. 🙃

Wouldn’t sh.itjust.works be just as bad as fucking?
