@hrefna Red Rising. I highly, highly, wholeheartedly recommend it, it's seriously amazing. It deals with a lot of themes of revolution, leadership, social class, compromise, with a ton of Dune style realpolitik. The second trilogy (which is actually gonna be four books) especially, because it gets a lot more mature and complex with its examination of the characters and themes.

The only reservation I have about it is that it does use the fridging trope once as the inciting incident in the first boom, but it goes on to have multiple incredibly strong women with tons of agency and independence from the men so like, I think it more than makes up for it.
