About this deal
His pacing is 100 percent him standing over it all with a lit match and a smile, waiting for us to dare him to drop it. This might be the best Red Rising book so far, but either way, it was the best book in the second series by far. In sequels or long series, characters’ momentary recollections of the past and their journey can magnificently increase my emotional attachment to the characters and their struggle. If we demand restitution for all the evils that have been done to us, there will be no end to this war.
Having different VAs, playing different parts, emphasized the different views and feelings from different characters, through different inflection and cadence. I started Lightbringer on audiobook, but the production value was so bad that after 2 hours, I decided to wait for my physical copy that was set to arrive a few days later.I had to give this a second reading to make sure I wasn’t being biased or quick to judge with my 5 star review. Less hopping makes the book more cohesive but you will miss some of those side characters for long stretches. And I am not only talking about the endgame in Morning Star, but to mention one, what Darrow decided to do in the Battle of Ilium in Morning Star has a lot of devastating repercussions that can still be felt in Light Bringer.
After a solid first outing in Red Rising, I felt the series has generally been on a consistent upward trajectory. Each part of the story was important and sets up the concluding book of the series beautifully while telling its own engaging story. I look around, and I am humbled by your acts of valor and sacrifice, but we are no longer a people united by our sacrifice or by our convictions.
The prose is excellent, the action is top-notch, I loved the directions that most of the characters are going and I’m dying to read the conclusion to the series with Red God. i am glad to report pierce has got his mojo back, book 6 has let's just say brought together the characters that we know and love again. It was like a vortex of vivid wind had opened its invitation for readers to fly together with the howling lunatics following godkillers in a hunt. Part II has maybe the biggest space battle the series has ever had and it’s amazing, but if you’re hoping for a lot of Victra like we had in Dark Age you might be missing her a little. The next may bring ruin, the next joy, but these stones are not your destination, they are but your journey to the path’s end.
