The popularity of this series made me deliberate taking it up but the synopsis and reviews are making me unsure - it seems like a less cerebral, more action sci-fi which is something I want to avoid. I am thinking it is closer to Hunger Games than something like Dune. Is my assessment correct ?

The first book has Hunger Games meets Ender's Game connotations, but the series overall is like Dune.
