Recommended if you like epic revolutions in a dystonia & scifi setting. Although the 1st book starts with the Hunger Games formula, it quickly surpasses it & becomes a powerful force of its own. It’s a wonderful & transcending spin on a story about slaves rising up against their masters. Even when the war takes a turn for the worse, there’s plenty of humor to lighten the mood. 😄 While Darrow (the MC) seems annoyingly overly perfect in the 1st book, it’s quite satisfying to watch him morph into a leader, by letting Mustang teach him how to love and respect his soldiers.
Warning: this saga is mercilessly gut wrenching & will fill you with anxiety while you worry about who will survive. Also the technical terms can be hard to follow. But it’s exhilarating, complex, well written, unpredictably clever and full of mischief.With non stop action there is just so much that happens in this epic saga, that makes this series impossible to forget.
