Red Rising. The whole series, really. They’re probably fun for a 10 year old but… I am not a kid anymore. As much as I sometimes wish I were.
I don’t know, maybe I’m missing something. But it seems like the author couldn’t focus on his own story. Just “and then this happened, and then this, and then this” with no details or reasoning.
Book 2 or 3 got so bogged down with MC indecision that I had to drop the series. I recently picked up the Sun Eater series on Audible for cheap and it’s looking like it’s going to trend the same way.
Instead of a story lead, it seems like the author wanted a story leaf that flits back and forth between overthinking this, melodrama that, and a whole slew of other plot contrivances that leave the story spinning in place for big chunks of the book.
