It's awesome although I didn't love the ending, still very good.

For me, the Red Rising Trilogy (assuming we'd consider that fantasy and not sci-fi) is as good or better than anything mentioned so far IMO. It's an incredible world with awesome characters.

They also do a fantastic job of truly creating a trilogy with a true end. This is my biggest pet peeve with fantasy as 90% of them never give you true conclusions as they're always looking for the spinoff. There were still some things that could be addressed after the Red Rising Trilogy ended, and I'd probably ready whatever they put out next; but they gave me a true, satisfying ending, and I appreciate that these days when it comes to fantasy works.

Couldn't agree more. It is a helluva read. Read the trilogy in about a week or two. Missed sleep over it. I would say it's Sci Fi, but Sci Fi and fantasy are so linked that you could probably throw them in together. At least non-hard Sci Fi.

Totally disagree with this. The whole point is to set up his next trilogy. It ends well, don't get me wrong. The arcs largely complete and we have a satisfying denouement, but the world around the characters remains in need of resolution and, indeed, so do many of the characters including the main one.
