Ever since starting Red Rising I really haven’t been able to stop reading these. I feel the goods, and feel anger when other things happen. Haven’t read many things that make me actually feel emotions quite like this series. Well, onto the next!

Pierce Brown’s return to the Red Rising saga isn’t necessarily flawless, but his improvement as a writer is remarkable. The tension he develops is still there, surprisingly stronger than his earlier installments. We return to his world filled with new captivating and flawed characters, as well as many of our old heroes who must now build over the rubble that they created. The political themes tackled in the story may bore some, but their similarity with real world issues will have you wondering if there really is a path where mankind does not destroy itself? As a stand alone it may struggle, but as the next book in an already incredible series, can you really afford to look away? If you’ve read the original trilogy, you won’t be disappointed.

I’m not a reader. I don’t read. That all changed with the Red Rising Saga. I read the entire first trilogy in 3 weeks and just couldn’t stop. The breakneck pace, non-stop action, mature themes, characters and story, world building, political intrigue, brutal battles. I mean the list goes on and on. This book series has become my favorite of all time. I’m about 25% of the way through Iron Gold and loving it. Pierce Brown has cultivated such an incredible world with these books. So what are you waiting for ya bloodydamn pixie?! HAIL REPEAR!

Great book you start to root for the other team

Good book

Bland writing

Most fourth books after a conclusive trilogy feel like the publisher wanting more than the author wants to write. Not here, total change of pace and style on this one. Best of all the books so far. I am very excited to get into dark age right after I finish up this review.

Brown has become my favorite writer. I am 63 and marvel at the philosophical wisdom that often pops out of no where. His pronouncements on war and especially love seem to come from a world weary sage. I have to keep reminding myself he is a young man. I so enjoy his vocabulary and the sculpting of the worlds he builds. He simply is a brilliant writer and I will read everything he writes.

The only bad part about this book is that it’s so good, you’ll read it in 3 days or less then have to wait a year, to read the next title in this wonderful series

My favorite book series.
