This book as a little different than the previous ones in the series because it hops back and forth between the perspectives of different characters. I enjoy that it includes the perspective of Lysander since he was previously considered an "enemy".
The book ends on a cliffhanger and I'm curious to read more!

currentlyreadinginCO Dark Age & Light Bringer are my favorites of the series so far, I hope that you love them!!! 3mo

What happens after the revolution? That‘s what this continuation of the Red Rising trilogy poses. It certainly isn‘t a happily ever after. This book does introduce a number of new characters, and has some our old favorites. I‘m glad I listened to this on audiobook, but I was still a bit lost at times. However, this was action packed and tense. I look forward to continuing the series. 4⭐️ #bookbinge #rushathon

Here‘s my choice for Letter I! Love this game!

LilFox0112 Hi I'm new, I just say this as trending, how do I get into it? 2y
Graywacke @LilFox0112 if I understand correctly, you can post and include the hashtag #alphabetgame and #letterI (or whichever letter). And it‘s kind to tag to originator - here it‘s @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks - if I misunderstood, apologies. (I makes silly mistakes a lot) 2y
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Graywacke you got it!! Thank you 😊 2y
Meshell1313 @LilFox0112 yes that‘s it! Jump right in! You can catch up! I screen shot the letter from the organizer @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks and then just add in the hashtags and my choices! 2y

One of my favorite author events ever—not only because Pierce Brown is as good a storyteller in person as he is on the page, but also because I went to this signing with my daughter (in middle school at the time). So fun to go together & have an opportunity to tell Brown how much we both love his books.

Have a favorite signed book? A favorite author meeting? I‘d love to hear your stories!

#CuriousCovers Day 12: Gold

Elements of gold on both of these covers. The original Red Rising trilogy is one of my favorite fantasy/sci-fi stories, and have been really enjoying revisiting them in audiobook form with my boyfriend over the past year. Still have not read the continuing books in the series.

Stopped by my favorite thrift shop for book buying on Saturday and found these two “like new” hardback copies for only $1.50 each. Couldn‘t pass up such a deal, plus I needed to add these to my series collection (even though the first 3 are all in paperback). I still haven‘t started the second half of this series, so hopefully this will be inspiration to continue on this summer. The original Red Rising trilogy is still one of my fave series.

#BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks #SeriesRead2021 @TheSpineView

When I read this when it was first released I wasn't a big fan. Having read it now right after the first three, I loved it. 💛

Brown does a great job of showing the issues that come with war. Darrow thinks he's doing what is right and fighting for freedom, but the people of Mars are still oppressed.

Now I can finally read the newest in this series which I haven't read yet.

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 3y

Audio books and planes go together like peanut butter and jelly. Really enjoying the Red Rising Saga on audiobook! The fourth one is the first one to expand into other characters viewpoints and it‘s been interesting to learn how the stories intertwine.

After reading the first three books I was really bummed when I thought the series was over. Only to find that there is this and one more book so far in the series! Lots of new characters brought in and new stories to add to Darrow‘s life. Great read! 📚 #redrisingsaga #irongold #bookfour #pick

Here we go with #4 Iron Gold. I'm not going to lie I might bail on this one. I've loved the story so far but I would have been more than happy with just a trilogy. But I could be wrong...right?

I FINALLY FINISHED! Now I‘m still trying to figure out how I feel about it. 😂 There was SO MUCH going on that its enormity and scope was impressive, but also a bit much? A lot of the book was crazy battles and kind of setting up the pieces for the next book, and I also really didn‘t like a specific choice that was made about a character. Even so, this is such an epic book series, and I‘m excited to see how it all comes together in book 6.

DGRachel I still haven‘t read this. 🤦🏻‍♀️ I cried through the first three chapters when it came out, put it down, and haven‘t gotten back to it. 4y
Bookish_Viking This is probably one of the hardest series (in terms of emotional turmoil) that I‘ve ever read. 4y
Merethebookgal @DGRachel It‘s definitely emotionally draining and the violence just gets worse as it goes on 4y
Merethebookgal @ReaperOfTerrasen Definitely agree! 4y
DGRachel This is probably a really #unpopularopinion: I LOVED the original trilogy, but I was exhausted by Iron Gold. I understand why Brown added multiple POVs, but I kind of wish he‘d left the world of Red Rising alone after Morning Star and gone on to do something completely different. I‘m not even sure I‘ll ever read Dark Age, at this point, if I‘m honest, although I will, of course, buy the next book. 🤦🏻‍♀️ 4y

I finished my reread of this in prep for Dark Age. I enjoyed itmore the second time around. I was able to give up all my preconceived notions of what this book should be and what should happen. That allowed me to be more immersed and enjoy it more. 5 ⭐️ Now on to Dark Age. No doubt it will be a rough one.

I haven‘t been able to put Red Rising down since I started reading the first trilogy, and now I have a little break before book #5. For the first time in the series, I need a break. This one ends on a weird note.

As a whole, I love this series. It‘s really unique and the characters are excellent. The world just keeps getting bigger and more detailed.

DGRachel Yeah - I was mad when Morning Star's publication was delayed, but I've actually been grateful for putting off Dark Age as long as it has been delayed. I know it will be phenomenal, but I'm rather dreading it. 😞 5y
LitLogophile Agreed... I‘m probably going to devour it while mentally saying “no, no, no” the entire time😂 @DGRachel 5y

Also snagged this at the library this morning! It is a lot thicker than I thought it would be. Definitely the longest of the four so far. I‘m not sure where this is going to go after the ending of Morning Star. I have heard it‘s a lot different than the other ones but I‘m anxious to find out for myself. I also checked out the audiobook so I can listen in the car and when I‘m out walking. Another fabulous #SeriesRead I‘m looking forward to!

BookaholicNatty @MellieAntoinette I know right!!!!! I had thought in the end of the second book or the beginning of the third what would happen if Mustang got pregnant. So that thought did cross my mind. But Cassius had me fooled man! And I seriously thought Sevro was dead and I was like noooooo! That ending had me fooled so bad! I just didn‘t see that coming at all. What did you think?? 5y
KarouBlue @BookaholicNatty I wasn‘t expecting mustang (or anyone) to wind up as Ruler. But they have a son!!! I wonder if that‘s what people mean by this ending disappointed them?? It was a little undo redo. But I personally felt like it fit. I wanted Jackal to have a harsher end! 5y

I was hesitant to continue the Red Rising saga after finishing Morningstar. I have to admit, I was disappointed with the uncreative ending Pierce Brown chose for his first trilogy, but I had been so sucked in by the rest of the books it had become one of my favorites. I was hesitant to begin the next trilogy with the introduction of 3 narrators outside of Darrow, but you got me Pierce! I am loving it all 😍

So excited to get back into the series! Hoping so hard this doesnt disappoint! Am I the only one that found the very end of the third book a little lack luster -- like hello show some emotion? Or is that just me haha

hannahx I totally agreed. Just starting Iron Gold after attempting to resist. I was completely entrenched in Morningstar, and the ending sucked. So far Iron Gold is not disappointing. 5y
idealityandme @hannahx exactly! I was hoping for more of a reaction or more emotion! I think this author does so well with character development along with other points of story telling but there are some disappointing moments for sure. He misses some opportunities that otherwise could be epic. 5y
Alora I‘ve also heard great things about this series! Thinking of starting it soon 4y
idealityandme @Alora this one is verrrry good! I definitely recommend! It takes a second to learn all the new terminology in the first book, but then it gets very good! I have really enjoyed the series! 4y

Pierce Brown sure ain‘t afraid to hurt his characters. This is one of those books where everyone runs around making terrible life choices that are nonetheless understandable when you consider each character‘s view of their (often desperate) situation. It‘s also one of those books where nobody‘s really a good guy or a bad guy. Everyone‘s awful at least some of the time, yet no one feels irredeemable.

I‘m eager to see where they all go next.

And now, a deeply exciting picture of my closet. I underpoured the paint a bit so I‘ll have to finish up the last corner and do the touch-ups tomorrow. I‘m way too tired to go on tonight.

I also finished IRON GOLD, at long last! I planned to reread MISTBORN next, but I dunno if I‘m up for two audio chunksters in a row. I‘ll see how I feel tomorrow. #audiopainting

Lindy Nice job on the painting. How about listening to a few podcasts in between chunksters? 5y
xicanti @Lindy I did listen to the latest episode of my favourite right after I finished the book. Now I‘m thinking I‘ll borrow a random short audio before I dive into the next looooooong listen. 5y

I got such a late start that it‘s 3pm and all I‘ve done is empty my closet, fill the holes, and apply the first coat to one side of my shelf. This is gonna be a long night.

On the plus side, I should finally finish IRON GOLD either tonight or tomorrow. I‘m on chapter 57 of 64 (I think). RB Digital‘s got a great catalogue, but I wish they‘d show you how much time you have left in the whole book, not just in your current chapter. #audiopainting

My morning #audiorun was on the treadmill again because it was -1 out, so please accept this greenery from my friend‘s garden in lieu of some boring photo of my feet.

I didn‘t listen to my book on Casey‘s afternoon walk because I needed a break. It‘s good but it‘s loooooong and everyone‘s making such terrible life choices. It‘s like they‘re in a genre that demands maximum drama or something.

I also experienced EXTREME FRUSTRATION with my FitBit. I‘ve got a Zip so I‘ve gotta work harder than wristband people to start with, and today it kept glitching out on account of its crappy Ikea battery. I‘ve lost at least 1700 steps so far. Bloody hell.

Another 3° morning meant another #audiorun on the treadmill. It wasn‘t so bad, really. When I run inside, the view‘s boring but I get to listen to my book. When I run outside, there‘s more variety but I‘ve got Nora from the NHS in my ear telling me when to slow down and speed up.

I‘m loving this book so far and all the actors are great, but DAMN did the producer ever drop the ball on volume moderation. I hate it when that happens. ?

GypsyKat That‘s a huge bummer about the volume! Such a pet peeve of mine! 5y
