I have one last chapter until I am done. I do not know if I have it in me to continue with the third book, and I certainly know I will not move past the first trilogy. Darrow irritates me more and more with each decision he makes and it just gets to a point where I can’t keep going with it.

The most irritating part of this book and series is that they never let Darrow have one actual victory. Plot twists are fun because they are seldom, but in this book especially it feels like they are expected every chapter. The story is great, but the balance feels odd to me.

Just finished part 2…after not touching the book for almost 2 weeks. It’s an odd dynamic, when I am into it I can’t put it down, but when I am not into it I can’t seem to pick it up. I like how the pace slowed a little after capturing the new ship, but I am doubtful it will last long.

Just finished part 1…my biggest gripe with Red Rising is that it took too long to develop the feelings and world around Darrow, and now my biggest complaint so far is that the feelings and world are coming too fast. Wish we could’ve seen more of Darrow at the Academy to substantiate his feud with Karnus, but maybe that is to come later.
