It ended up having a good message, but the characters were so unlikable.

I hope you get to read some of these. Especially Red Rising. It's one of my all time favorite series!

They're so packed though and even some of the smallest details end up being hugely important so you can't skip anything either.

It was SO SLOW at the start. But definitely got good after I pushed through. Game was actually my fave book in the Jasper Dent series.
