Ten years after the events of Morning Star, Darrow and the Rising are battling the remaining Gold loyalist forces and are closer than ever to abolishing the color-coded caste system of Society for good.

Pierce Brown expands the size and scope of his impressive Red Rising universe with new characters, enemies, and conflicts among the stars.
Customer Reviews
Best book ever
The last review is absolutely right! I loved all these books but when they started adding different perspectives with different voices it brought the book to a whole new level!
Poor sound engineering
Constantly needed to adjust volume especially for one of the narrators who would shout then almost mumble words.
Storyline splintered from the other books in the series and I found it difficult to track who was who and how the segments related.
Overdramatized- both the writing itself was at times overdramatized but even worse the narrators overdramatized. This was especially prominent when one male narrator would yell the words when the character in the story was shouting. Also there was gratuitous descriptions of violence. The battle scenes obviously had detailed violence but a character similarly thinking about what torture might befall them became overly indulged in violent descriptions.
The overall story, world building and concept from the first three books were excellent which is why this book was so very disappointing.
Weaker story and changing narrators is a poor choice
The story in this book is not as strong as the previous books, which were excellent. Unfortunately, I really don’t like the regularly changing reader/voices. It makes the book harder to follow and hearing characters we know so we’ll read by an entirely different narrator just doesn’t work well.
