About this listen

Darrow is a Red, a member of the lowest caste in the color-coded society of the future. Like his fellow Reds, he works all day, believing that he and his people are making the surface of Mars livable for future generations. Yet he spends his life willingly, knowing that his blood and sweat will one day result in a better world for his children. But Darrow and his kind have been betrayed. Soon he discovers that humanity reached the surface generations ago. Vast cities and sprawling parks spread across the planet.

Darrow - and Reds like him - are nothing more than slaves to a decadent ruling class. Inspired by a longing for justice, and driven by the memory of lost love, Darrow sacrifices everything to infiltrate the legendary Institute, a proving ground for the dominant Gold caste, where the next generation of humanity's overlords struggle for power. He will be forced to compete for his life and the very future of civilization against the best and most brutal of Society's ruling class. There, he will stop at nothing to bring down his enemies...even if it means he has to become one of them to do so.

Not gonna lie, it was not an easy read. I was looking for some good dystopian audio books and every single one of them suggested Red Rising. I gave it a try once or twice but was not happy with the narration. Therefore I tried ebook version to get me through first few chapters. But once I got hang of the plot I really enjoyed the book. All the color-coded society, academy and houses to conquer. It was thrilling to read that. I'm sucker for dystopian genre and throw in games for survival , I'm instantly glued to it. I just wish it had a reference page to help me keep up with all the colors and tech used by them.

Another good Dystopian novel

my only complaint is that the intricacies of the plot were a bit iffy in terms of believability at times. And the big did drag on a bit in certain sections.

A great book. And an even greater narrator.

There is too much gore for my liking but I understand why many will love this book. The story is well spun, amazingly imaginative and hovers somewhere between fantasy and sci fi. I wish the narrator was more closer to the age of the protagonist so it would seem more real.

Its a really good book though not for me

Loved the book!
You will take time to get used to the narration but once you do, Tim takes it to the next level.
Although the premise is simple where the oppressed strike back, the way the story plays out is extremely engaging.

Engaging, entertaining and binge-y
