Red Rising is such a good series. The sixth book was released yesterday, so starting on that as soon as I'm done with my current series.

But an even better series is the Children series by Tchaikovsky. Did a "tour" of his sci-fi books after Children of Time, and can recommend them all. Shards series (starting with Shards of Earth) just finished, so another good series from him there.

But a word of warning about Children of Memory (the final book in Children series):

spoiler

There is a chapter there near the end, and it is the only time, ever, that i have cried at something i've read.

EDIT: Sorry if anyone saw that last one before i got it in a proper spoiler. Apperantly lemmy doesn't follow proper markdown for spoilers...
