Do you think it’s overrated or perfectly rated?

I’ve heard it said once that it’s prose is awful. Is it poorly written? Atleast, does it have a good story?

    I enjoyed Red Rising itself. I agree that it kinda devolved into a Hunger Games/YA feeling saga, and I quit reading when the following happened:

    Tap for spoiler

    When the MC killed his friend in that skirmish. I don’t remember what book, I think it was 4?

    I get that this is probably going in the direction of “I have become that which I set out to destroy”, but when I read what happened in the spoiler tag above, it broke me entirely out of the story. So much so that I has to stop reading. I may go back to it someday, but right now I’ve got other things I want to read.
