I read Red Rising by Pierce Brown and I fucking loved it!

Red Rising (Red Rising Saga, #1)Red Rising by Pierce Brown
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Okay, let's talk about Red Rising!

I ended up reading this book because it was super hyped, at least on my bookstagram feed. It's like you're all reading Red Rising.

To be honest, I did not enjoy the first 50% of this book. I had to kind of work through it. I was bitter and upset, and I thought I would be the odd one who hated this book and wanted nothing to do with it. I thought this would be just Hunger Games going to Mars, but the last 50% proved me wrong.

As Darrow advanced with his plan and the game fastened its pace, things went wild. There were incredible action scenes. I loved Sevro and the Howlers, and I loved how Darrow fought through it all.

I could not stop myself from putting the second book of the series on hold on the library app, and I may consider buying physical copies to have the whole series if it keeps going as the first book went.

If you're wondering why I constantly rate 5 stars, it's because I read awesome books.

The Forsaken Planet by Bryan Wilson My rating: 4 of 5 stars I had a lot of fun reading The Forsaken Planet! Last night I finished this book, and I realized how much I was invested.

In a universe where different planets are inhabited by humans capable of controlling the power of the stars called Solara, Earth was the only human planet where these powers have been forgotten. An ancient prophecy claims that the one who wields the power of the stars on Earth is the Son of the Prophets and will lead humanity to Salvation. The MC Colton survives an attack of alien forces on Earth and is suspected to have wielded Solara in the night when the attack took place. The journey leads us to Vintara, a distant planet with a purplish tone to its atmosphere where most of the action will take place. The book is a very detailed sci-fi saga that brings classic and fantasy elements to the game, resulting in an immersive experience for the reader. The biggest quality

My Journey as a Reader Continues

I decided to stop saying “hello, everyone,” as I understand absolutely no one reads this blog. Still, the narrator must introduce his voice in a text, so hello, and welcome to my blog. August was the first month where I did not make any updates to this blog since I created it. September was just about to become the second month, but I decided to step forward. My mom left Canada to continue her travels in Portugal at the end of September. Work has gone berserk over the past month, but I still was able to read a lot, even more, when I could finally step out for two weeks of vacation after 3+ years of constant work. Now, with all these readings that I have made, there’s just so much to talk about. I am at the prime of my experience as a reader so far in this lifetime. Above all, one thing that has been making a huge difference for me is getting soundtracks to match what I am reading. Since I started this journey of reading more and more, I have begun selecting ambiance tracks on youtube t
