This book was just okay. The writing is easy enough to read and the premise is not bad. However, I felt like there was not enough tension in the book. At no point did it feel like Lucca was in actual danger and the stakes were pretty low.

After seeing Red Rising on a lot of recommendation lists, I thought I would be in for a fun yet riveting sci-fi fantasy. I could not have been more wrong. Never have I been more enraged by the absurdity and pointlessness of a plot. It really went downhill after the most interesting character was killed off to set up Darrow's moral development. From then on, it's just rich kids playing war. Darrow, of course, is the best at everything - including just casually "quickly learning to swim". I wanted to throw the book against the wall by this point. Not the mention the latent or rather blatant misogyny and terrible, terrible treatment of women throughout the book. I am still angry.

They’re bound by flame, united by flight. These books all have dragon riders as part of the plot. Only the first of a series will appear.
