I actually preordered RED RISING well before it came out, and I still didn't read it until March this year. :P Well, at least it's usually pretty well stocked in stores. ;) <br /><br />You're very welcome! I always try my best to leave out spoilers because I hate them, too. :P <br /><br />SAMESIES!!! Character-driven stories are my favourite, and this one is really well done!! And I agree about well-built worlds, too. It's so easy for it to be done poorly, but Pierce as crafted his PERFECTLY! :D I think you will, too, just judging by how you seem to have picked out the things that I would say characterize this book the most. :P haha I feel ya! I need to pick up the two sequels now!AmburHostynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10269572610984100581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4660257471527268870.post-46471749164164019752016-05-22T13:15:47.911-04:002016-05-22T13:15:47.911-04:00I've been wanting to pick this book/series up ...I've been wanting to pick this book/series up for so stupidly long it's embarrassing. I meant to grab a copy last weekend at BookCon but managed to somehow miss it entirely. Ugh. Oh well.<br /><br />I think your review might be the first I actually sat down and read for Red Rising. Some part of me has been fearful of being spoiled--I'm really glad your review was so perfectly general. :) It was much appreciated!<br /><br />I love character-driven stories. I live for well-built worlds. I know I'm going to obsess over this with my whole heart. Now to just pick it up already.
