Read Red Rising this week, first in a 6 book series. Looks like it will go in a different direction from here but this one was a mix of Hunger Games and Ender’s Game.
I've read all of them. I prefer the sequels to the more violent Hunger Games version of the first one. It's basically a big space war epic. Not sure I think they are good, but entertaining enough. The author drops in tons of pop culture references which I find both fun and distracting. I think its worth continuing the series but if you don't like the 2nd book, the rest are a lot more like that than they are like the original.
