Red Rising is a fast, addictive sci-fi series, and the first three books draw the strongest praise, with book 3 often singled out for its natural ending rather than a cliffhanger. The full-cast audiobook version is also described as especially strong. Later books shift perspectives more often, and book 4 begins 10 years later, which makes the pacing and character choices harder for some readers. The series also includes graphic violence and sexual content, so it is not a light read. It is a strong fit if you want an intense series and do not mind darker material.
Readers who want a fast-moving sci-fi series with a strong payoff in the first three books, because book 3 has a natural ending and the early books are repeatedly called the best.
Readers who like perspective shifts and long-form series arcs, because later books keep changing viewpoints and continue well past the opening trilogy.
Yes. Book 4 is reported to be difficult because of the switching perspectives, and book 5 continues that style with 3-4 chapters in a row from the same perspective before switching again.
It includes mature content such as rape, sodomy, murder, revolution, and maiming, so it may not be a good fit for a 14-year-old. One comment recommends We Are Legion: We Are Bob as an alternative.
Yes. Book 3 has a natural ending and does not end on a cliffhanger, so the first three books work well as a complete arc. Book 4 then jumps ahead 10 years.
The full-cast Audible version of the first three books is highly recommended and described as excellent. It is especially appealing if you prefer audio, while the box set is more for reading or display.
I did the first 3 books on Audible with the full cast and it was glorious. I haven't jumped into the next three yet since i'm working on Dungeon Crawler Carl. I did buy the special edition of the first book to display and i've been tempted to get this as well, but it's been this price for awhile so no rush. For audible listeners I highly recommend the full cast version, they are really good.
I recently got into audiobooks—starting with Project Hail Mary, which my wife recommended—and now I'm completely hooked. Right now, I'm listening to Morning Star (the third book) through Hoopla via my local library. It's fantastic, completely free, and has actually made my morning commutes enjoyable for a change!
I think for me I'd say 2 then 3 then 1. It's pretty close between 2 and 3 though. I'm on 4 now and having a really hard time with the switching perspectives. Trying to push through.

I had the same problem with book 4. Book 5 is the same way BUT it switches less. 3-4 chapters in a row as same perspective.
Would this be good as a series for a 14 year old? For anyone who has read it.
Well I think it would be good for a 14 year old. Touchy topics: Rape, sodomy? murder, revolution, maiming. There are no topics in here that don't happen in the good book.

Book 3 was the best, followed by book 1.
