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.

The book is (technically) well written and the reader is among the best I've listened to so far.

However, this is just the dystopian story told in "The Hunger Games", but with a slightly different setting (Mars) and a male main character and therefore more descriptions of fights in any imaginable form.

If you're looking for an extremely well written "action adventure", this is for you. If you would prefer a story including an analysis of the underlying social structures and the resulting consequences, look somewhere else.

I don't think I'll give the second book a try.

The Mockingjay is now a boy

I've come back here to write a review since I saw some people didn't continue reading the book because the beginning is dull or the narrator has a weird accent. I first read the series and then "reread them on audible" because they are so unbelievably exciting and get increasingly better with each book. It took some getting used to the voice actor but now everytime I hear his voice in the sequels I only hear Darrow and I know it's bout to get gooood!

I agree that the beginning was slow and it reminded me of other distopian YA books like Hunger Games but I'm SO HAPPY I pushed through because it turned the tables completely! If it was slow at the beginning suddenly I felt like I was thrown in the back seat with sudden acceleration and all the characters progressively joined me in the fear and excitement of what would come next. Any expectation I had of how a scene would go down represented like 25% of what ended up happening and how it happened. And again every book just gets more savage than the previous one. Cannot recommend it enough. Also got my boyfriend into reading and he loved the series!

It is not what it seems in the beginning

Interesting story, can’t wait for book 2. But the narrator along with the many made-up words took quite some getting used to.

Strong recommendation. The SciFi part is more or less in the Background. But the Story is epic!

Epic!

At the beginning I didn't like the Helldriver, but he grows close to my heart and i'm looking forward for the next book
