Started reading Red Rising by Pierce Brown, so far it reads like a YA novel which I don't like, hopefully that changes as I read further
I don’t think the style changes much as the book goes on, but I really like this series.
If the style bothers you, you might have a hard time finishing it.
The first book is about teenagers but they do age as the story goes. By book 4, the main character is around 30. However, the style of storytelling didn’t feel much different to me.
I think the YA gets easier to ignore, but it is consistent throughout the book. I had the same impression and while I made it through the first book I don't see myself continuing the series.
