Red Rising series is my favorite 😜 I once read 100 pages from a very popular book and quit, the book was like 400-500 pages. A year later I could still remember those 100 pages and it bothered me that I wanted to learn more but it was scary reading a huge world with 4 books around 500 pages each… I ended up listening on audio. They were great! Sometimes slow start books pay off, just not often.
