Rezension von SvenHat mich wieder zum Lesen gebracht. Wird oft als Mischung aus Hunger Games und etwas Game of Thrones in Space betitelt und ich sehe die Parralelen gerade im ersten Buch. Allgemein ein sehr cooles Buch mit geilen Characteren und sehr fast pased. Trauer/Rache und ein Klassenkampf sind Hauptmotivationen des MCs und ich würde lügen, wenn es nicht extrem unterhaltsam war aber zurückkehrend nach den Folgeteilen der Reihe, fehlt diesem ersten einfach etwas die Substanz, da gerade der Klassenkampf scheinbar nur durch Gewalt und dem etwas inkonsistent fähigen MC gelöst wird. Trotzdem ein Buch, was mich mehrere Wochen vereinnahmt und noch danach beschäftigt hat, mit aber auch eben teils anfänglichen Schwachstellen. Die Qualitätskurve zu den nächsten Büchern ist schon deutlich spürbar.
Rezension von LeonieDieses Buch ist großartig. Ich kann kaum in Worte fassen wie sehr es mir gefallen hat. Die Welt, die Politik, die Charaktere.
Rezension von ScytheeeRise Darrow.
Rezension von khafizAbsolutely gripping book, couldn't stop reading till I was done, ending maybe a bit fast paced but overall would recommend absolutely
Rezension von HannaWas mir an Red Rising besonders gefallen hat, ist die Mischung aus Sci-Fi, Strategie und psychologischen Machtspielen. Darrow ist dabei kein typischer Held, sondern oft brutal, impulsiv und ziemlich einschüchternd — selbst die Tests zeigen schnell, wie gefährlich er eigentlich ist. Gleichzeitig fand ich es spannend, wie sein Herz trotz all der Veränderungen gleich bleibt und Eos Einfluss ihn weiterhin prägt voran treibt und dazu bringt seine Moral zu vernachlässigen. Die Academy mit den Häusern hatte fast etwas von einer verdrehten Version von Häusern aus Harry Potter oder Percy Jackson, nur mit deutlich mehr Gewalt und Manipulation. Figuren wie Mustang, Tactus oder der Jackal machen die Dynamik zusätzlich interessant. Vor allem gegen Ende überschlagen sich die Enthüllungen und ich bin schon extrem gespannt wie die Reihe weitergeht.
