The Rage of Dragons

3.5 - This book, along with Red Rising, is captivating enough to keep you going as long as you ignore its treatment of female characters. If not used as plot devices or love interests, they are mentioned briefly at whore houses, to be used by soldiers to “entertain” themselves between battles.

Evan Winter I give you one more book to redeem your sexist undertone.

Very good. Fantastic world-building and a unique setting! However I found while the beginning was very strong I lost interest in the middle but that's more of a personal preference thing rather than an actual fault; I'm not really a fan of anything that involves showing a lot of fighting so Tau's training started to lose me. Tau as a character was also quite frustrating, although I believe that was intentional. It did manage to grab me again in the end and I'm looking forward to seeing where the story goes next! 3.5
