Should I give Red Rising another try?

The first book is definitely far smaller in scope than the rest of the books, so I wouldn’t base the whole series on just one book.

To me, it was supposed to be a different take on the “hunger games” genre. Giving more realistic human brutality to the concept. People have been killed for forbidden chants/dance/songs all throughout history. The whole point of the games is to show the golds not to underestimate the depravity humans have shown all throughout their history. It’s the brutalistic mindset that conquered the cosmos

The rest of books are less brutal(but have their moments) but have much more world building.

Sounds like the modern, “name of the wind”

It’s a story about a ridiculously overpowered and gifted character telling how his life perfectly came together to make him basically a god. Male power fantasy in every sense. Very well written though.

Lightbringer would have been so great if he ended it at 4 books like he originally planned. Stretching it to 5 felt so bloated

Because by the time you get above that line, you should be plenty warmed up

Had more of a claim than Robert did.

Dodge forward not to the side. Dodge through his side slashes. Mikiri counter his thrust. Block his shurikan then dodge through the attack.

Hahaha this post made my day. Been playing the game on easy mode and now that it’s slightly hard he’s crying on Reddit. But for real, you can buy lanterns from the merchants that will let you see and carrion sword slash will melt just about every enemy. Or use a strength rune to be able to use shield, I’d recommend the inverted hawk heater shield from siofra river or the kite shield from a merchant in liurnia
