Hunger Games + Brave New World + Irish people(slaves) on Mars. pretty good, tragic start.
As an adult reader in 2025, using a strict color system for class hierarchies feels very YA dystopian (even though Huxley maybe did it first?), as it was overdone in the post-hunger games era, and it’s just…very…silly.
Otherwise, compelling writing, world building, emotion. Glad to see a series like this get popular
