Red Rising

At first I have to admit that I found this book quite boring. The story just seemed to be very idle and slow while the world was built. But when it took off, it REALLY took off. It was like slow... slow... BOOM. It felt like a mix of The Hunger Games and Game of Thrones, but set on Mars. It was really cool.

So if you want violence? This book has it. Death? Yep, right here. Friendship? That too. A brand new world? Look no further.
