Had to buy Red rising now that I read your comment, never heard about it. I recently read Hyperion as well and what made me suffer through the book was all the long ass descriptions of everything. The world is amazing and the story, but I’ll wait a while before I read the others.
Children of Time is amazing! I’ve read Children of Ruin, the second book which is equally as great and just started on the third one. If you haven’t read it, then check out Three Body Problem. I found it better than Hyperion, although very dystopian and kinda sad. Good read though. Thanks for the recommendation.
I have Three Body Problem requested on Libby - just waiting for a copy to come available to borrow. Someone recommended it and Hyperion at the same time, so I'm hoping for a better experience with that one. :D
My wife and I, but mostly her, read too much to purchase anything but our favorites. We rely heavily on our kindles and borrowing books through Libby to keep us from going broke and filling our house.
I’m also a fan of the red rising series, it’s fantastic. The final book came out today too. Need to finish the first Malazan book before I jump into it though.
