Do you think it's overrated or perfectly rated?

I've heard it said once that it's prose is awful. Is it poorly written? Atleast, does it have a good story?

I dug the original trilogy. I’m having a hard time getting into the second. I finished iron gold recently and I thought it was pretty “meh”

Red rising read a bit like hunger games, a little bit YA imo. But the storytelling and depth picked up a lot in the next two.
