Light Bringer: the Sunday Times bestseller (Red Rising Series)

Product Information

Combined with its unpredictability, Red Rising is truly up there is the Olympus of best sci-fi (or sci-fantasy) ever written.

The individual “big moments” are all amazing, but there are a lot of instances of different characters just going to different places because they need to be there for the plot, not necessarily because it feels like the most logical place for them to go. With more responsibilities and the march of time, their friendships aren’t as relatively simple as they were before in the first trilogy when they had fewer designated main missions and priorities. I still can't say it's the best in the series but it's very enjoyable so far, a large part being tim's incredible skill but I feel pierce has recovered the confidence of the original series. Since starting it a few years ago, The Red Rising series has quickly become one of my favorite series ever. These scenes are so relatable because it makes these giants of war and destruction feel so utterly human.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. But Lyria's story and her budding friendship with a particular character really caught me off guard. Was the perfect combination of so many of my fav aspects of the series but also provided so many amazing scenes I was yearning for in the first 5 books. One of my favorite things about Light Bringer is how Pierce Brown totally made sure that crucial and pivotal events from each previous book in the series do matter. I read this during my Interrail trip this summer and didn't expect to read too much as my days were very packed and I didn't know how much brain energy I'd have at the end of the day.

the character work is mostly (iykyk) superb here, and on a level i’ve rarely seen (ASOIAF/First Law good). I always cared more for the the interpersonal relationships of characters and the philosophical themes of these books than any big fighting scenes or fast paced action (the reason Golden Son is actually my least favourite in the series). This book has reignited all my love for this series and while I'm a little sceptical whether it will go into the political direction I would prefer, I simply care too deeply for theses characters to not be hyped for the final book. Brown does not let us breathe after the events of Dark Age and the stakes somehow become even higher.That’s the sound of blades clashing announcing the arrival of Light Bringer as the biggest contender for the best book of 2023. We better get a solid resolution to that baby Jackal bullshit Pierce pulled out of his ass in Dark Age. Without him, I don't know if I ever even finish the first book, and now this series is among my favorite of all time. There were four places that the majority of the plot took place with four very separate, but intertwining threads.

In this book, all the pieces started coming together and you can almost see the light at the end of the tunnel. Book 4, Iron Gold, started off a little bit rough, though for good reasons that eventually paid off bigtime. That is to mix the themes of hope, friendship, love, and light into the chaos of destruction the characters encounter. Light Bringer contains some of the most emotional scenes in the series so far, and believe me, it means a great deal. I will definitely re-read it many times over while I wait for next and final instalment of this spectacular series.Well because Pierce Brown doesn't care about his reader's feelings and is having way too much fun ruining character's lives. This is where Pierce Brown went back and tied all the loose ends, fixed the plot holes, and answered questions. Make no mistake, there are people who are clearly monsters, but they’re interesting and varied monsters. But now that I’ve read my most anticipated release of the year, Light Bringer, I can say with a shattered and mended heart that is filled with contentment and satisfaction, Light Bringer is my favorite book in the entire series so far. Especially since all the actors from Iron Gold were absolutely perfect in their roles, so it was deeply disappointing to make such a huge step back.

I could go on and talk about how amazing the series is, how heartbreaking the deaths and breath-taking the reunions, but it would be redundant. Less hopping makes the book more cohesive but you will miss some of those side characters for long stretches.

Red Rising is an amazing series, its core are the humanae gestae and the characters, a cast that, after 5 years since first reading the series, feels like home. You could easily tell that Audible had been changing some of the mixer settings instead of just letting TGR do his magic like he did in the original trilogy. However, once I reached 30% mark, the tempo of the story sped up rapidly and it was unable to put it down. However, in Light Bringer Lyria is finally brought to the forefront of one part of the overarching conflict and I loved that.
