Great review. I binged this series as well. Even made all those around me read it. Younger generations could definitely stand to read it and learn from it! The series gets better with each book.

Incredible series. Highly recommend. Recently binged a second read of the series in preparation for Lightbringer. Unfortunately it has been delayed to 2023.

This series sounds incredible.

I read the first 3 (enjoyed 1 immensely, had fun with 2 & 3) and then lost interest a few chapters into 4. The tone got heavily repetitive. Darrow broods, fights, broods, gets betrayed, broods, maybe dies, didn't die, someone else dies, Darrow broods more... Does it break free from that mold and go anywhere different in 4+?

I’m at chapter 14 of Red Rising. Darrow’s peasant attitude and complete lack of understanding of the basic functioning of the world is interfering with my desire to support his future/character arc.
