[!danger] Spoiler Alert This note contains major spoilers for Pierce Brown's "Red Rising Saga".

Continuing to read Red Rising after book one is exhausting. In storytelling, there is a seldom violated trope that if a plan is explained on-screen, it will not work. In a single book of Red Rising, there are six to a dozen plans explained on-screen. Even if you weren't aware of the trope before, you'd very quickly recognize it. That's six to a dozen times you have to wait entire chapters for Brown to tell you what you knew very well already.

I'm not a fan of dramatic irony.
