Wow!Everyone told me the books got much better after Red Rising but I didn't quite expect this.The story line really takes off and Pierce Brown's writing style is so much better. The book is a far cry from Red Rising, and is a much more grown up space opera. It's brutal, fast paced and full of action. I didn't want to put it down.The character development, and the relationships between characters were amazing. And that ending.... OMG... made me get hold of the next book right away
