Cannot recommend enough
I generally like to stay away from books with super dark themes. I feel like I get enough of that in real life, given the state of the world, so I tend to opt toward lighter reads. When I saw this series, I was intrigued, but very wary, given the topic. Still, I gave it a try. By God, I was sucked in so fast. The characters are wonderfully fleshed out and the plot is relevant and fast-paced.Parts of it were emotionally tolling, but not to any degree that I felt unable to keep reading. I don't think i could've stopped if I tried, actually. I only ever buy books if I intend to read them again (saves space my tiny bookshelf), and this series is needed to own. If you're in a mental space to handle the darker aspects, then I highly recommend.

Most fun book series I've read.
Pierce Brown's Red Rising trilogy is a captivating sci-fi masterpiece that will keep you enthralled from start to finish. This box set, containing Red Rising, Golden Son, and Morning Star, offers consistently high-quality storytelling throughout. While Red Rising stands out as the pinnacle, each book maintains the same level of thrilling adventure and compelling narrative. The series excels in its pacing and world-building, creating a rich, detailed universe that feels both alien and eerily familiar.The story is packed with unexpected twists and turns, keeping readers on their toes. Told from a first-person perspective, the narrative style enhances the immersive experience, pulling you deeper into the protagonist's world. The trilogy concludes satisfyingly, but leaves room for more, which is fortunate as the series continues beyond these three books. Highly recommended for fans of revenge plots and stories about overturning oppressive social systems, this 5/5 star series is a must-read for anyone who enjoys dystopian fiction with a sci-fi twist.

Good books well packaged
Good quality boxed set. The books are great. Still haven't gotten to the 3rd one but the 1st two books are real page turners. It's a little like a remake of the Hunger Games series with a male protagonist. There's not a bunch of salacious sexual content so you can focus on the story and the character arcs. Good twists and turns. Pretty solid read for any sci fi fan.

Best series ever
I love this series. The tale of Darrow is a fun one for anyone who loves dystopian fiction, with a futuristic twist. I’ve actually purchased this series twice because I keep sharing them out and people love them too much to return the book. I would highly recommend.
