True, but his Mustang prediction could still be accurate. Darrow left the Pegasus legion on Luna and they evacuated with her to Mars.

Oh, God. I had forgotten the awful baby scene. Sevro was in transit back to the core when the last book ended, right?

He was a prisoner on Luna I believe at the end of the last book, with the clone about to use the mind things mustang had developed on him.

2 weeks until Light Bringer! Make sure you get your Kleenex orders in because Sevro is doomed.

I'm actually going to a book tour event with Pierce in Naperville on Aug 1.

I’m ignoring the spoilers but I had to say that I read Red Rising when it first came out and had little attention. I just picked it up on a whim. I loved it and couldn’t wait for the next one. Well, while waiting I forgot all about it and now there are 6 book’s total. Lol. Looks like I will be glad I waited so I can just binge all of these. I’ll have to read Red Rising again for sure.

I've been so busy thar I pre-ordered it in audible and forgot all about it. It's in my library....time to get started on it. Been waiting ages. Really hoping diomedes character has a little more action/involvement, and Pax develops into a combined version of his parents (half genius/ half warlord.)

Regardless, looking forward to a spoiler filled discussion soon.

I thought it was great. I'm glad he ratcheted down the sadism in this one a bit. Brown is very good at writing interesting characters.

I agree. I like how he handled Lyria in this one. Her interactions with the main trio, especially Cassius, were hilarious. Made the events of Hanger 17B hurt that much more.

I’m interested to see how he handles Pax and Jackal 2.0 in Red God. I still suspect Sevro is some kind of Manchurian candidate for the Boneriders.

frick LYSANDER.

Can’t wait for red god

SPOILERS








Really liked Diomedes in this book

Still worried Sevro is gonna have a switched flipped at some point

Lysander is a piece of shite, but thought his character arc has been really good through these three books

Darrow getting his mojo back was good to see as well

Victra killing Ajax was not on my bingo card going into the novel

This book was easily my favorite of books 4-6. I put it up there with 2 as my favorite along with the OG Red Rising book 1.

Pierce Brown's growth of a writer throughout the series is noteworthy. He is significantly better now than he was when it started.




MAJOR SPOILERS





Loved Lyria in this book. Also loved that the bug was removed from her brain. Did we really need a superhuman, robocop Lyria running around? Lyria in Light Bringer is perfect. She pretty much took the place of wise cracking Ephraim but it didnt feel out of place. Cassius taking her under his wing was great as their chemistry was fantastic.

Question: Was it mentioned why the bug wasnt offered to Darrow, Sevro, Cassius when they arrived? Did it have to be repaired while in Lyria's head or is basically unrepairable once removed? Darrow had already landed before Lyria chose to destroy it. It seemed odd that Darrow shows up looking for weapons while Lyria is still there and the weapons they offered her werent offered to him. I likely missed the explanation of not offering those weapons at some point. But they offered to send her back to Mars with the bug in her head (she'd lose memories if kept in) AND with multiple of those metal orb things that found her at the beginning of the book. But they dont mention any of that to Darrow unless I missed it.

The two things I hated the most in book 5, the Minds Eye and the clone, were non existent in this book and I think we are better off for it. Both felt cheap to me. I know book 7 has to address them though...

Lysander killing Cassius was predictable, imo. But it needed to happen for his character arc which was done very well. He needs to be a little shite that we all hate.

Diomedes was too honorable to be on team Lysander. As soon as he was launched out in the escape pod while Darrow and crew were coming to Jupiter, I knew they would find him and that would likely begin Dio's turn to Team Darrow. Although I cringed when Sevro tortured Dio,

Book 7 - Minotaur vs Darrow duel round 2. Cant wait.
