Our child suggested this book. It's fiction, but for some people it would be current events: "Golds structure everything to make their lives easier. They have shows produced to entertain and placate the masses. > #booksky #reading #redrising #piercebrown www.piercebrown.com/redrisingsaga

Finished #RedRising today.  I'm still not sure how I feel about it, the it definitely felt like a slow burn but the ending definitely landed and had some nice highs in the finale.

I think in the end it just felt a bit too close to Hunger Games for me, though it does appear to be leaving that phase moving forward.  I'm still waiting on the next #DungeonCrawlerCarl installment so might dive into the next book in the meantime to see where it all goes.
