I love a book with strong characters, and this is that. “How many mothers have prayed to see their sons, their daughters return from war only to realize the war has kept them, the world has poisoned them, and they’ll never be the same?”īest aspect: the characters.
When that’s no longer the end he wants, it seems the only way to prevent becoming a martyr is to win–everything, and at all costs.

And he’s brought Hell with him.”Ībout the book: Darrow has been severely betrayed. “If you’re watching, Eo, it’s time to close your eyes. If you need a refresher on the series, you can read my complete reviews for Red Rising and Golden Son with these links. This is a spoiler-free review of the third book, but if you haven’t read the previous two books, you should probably do that first. I’ve been trying to savor each of the three books, but I’ve finally come to the end of the last one, and what a bittersweet journey it has been. You may already know that I’ve been in love with Pierce Brown’s Red Rising trilogy from the very first page.
