Darrow returns as Pierce Brown’s New York Times bestselling Red Rising series continues in the thrilling sequel to Dark Age.

“The measure of a man is not the fear he sows in his enemies. It is the hope he gives his friends.”—Virginia au Augustus

The Reaper is a legend, more myth than man: the savior of worlds, the leader of the Rising, the breaker of chains.

But the Reaper is also Darrow, born of the red soil of Mars: a husband, a father, a friend.

The worlds once needed the Reaper. But now they need Darrow. Because after the dark age will come a new age: of light, of victory, of hope.

It feels good to be back.

To the friends. To the victories. To the tension and to the pain.

A lot of things I missed here, but not as much as I'll miss all these characters while I wait for Red God.

Except for Lyria, to be honest.

--- Kind of spoilers ahead! ---

There are some things that I found a little forced, but I get the choices made by Pierce Brown. However it is a little tough for the suspension of disbelief when you end up needing to meta-justify stuff.

On the other hand, I have been an advocate of Lyria and Lysander on previous books, and on this one they just became what all the other people always told me. I believed in you, and you chose to betray me.
