Summary
For a decade, Darrow led a revolution against the corrupt color-coded Society. Now, outlawed by the very Republic he founded, he wages a rogue war on Mercury in hopes that he can still salvage the dream of Eo. But as he leaves death and destruction in his wake, is he still the hero who broke the chains? Or will another legend rise to take his place?
Lysander au Lune, the heir in exile, has returned to the Core. Determined to bring peace back to mankind at the edge of his sword, he must overcome or unite the treacherous Gold families of the Core and face down Darrow over the skies of war-torn Mercury.
But theirs are not the only fates hanging in the balance.
On Luna, Mustang, Sovereign of the Republic, campaigns to unite the Republic behind her husband. Beset by political and criminal enemies, can she outwit her opponents in time to save him?
Once a Red refugee, young Lyria now stands accused of treason, and her only hope is a desperate escape with unlikely new allies.
Abducted by a new threat to the Republic, Pax and Electra, the children of Darrow and Sevro, must trust in Ephraim, a thief, for their salvation - and Ephraim must look to them for his chance at redemption.
As alliances shift, break, and re-form - and power is seized, lost, and reclaimed - every player is at risk in a game of conquest that could turn the Rising into a new Dark Age.

Brilliant but too long
I did love this book, The Red Rising saga has a special place in my heart and the writing was incredibly intelligent and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Only cons were that it was too long and complex and too many characters. Some of the narration could have been better produced in some places I.e. intonation on the two by parts of the sentence which didn’t help with understanding the storyline.
However Pierce is an excellent author and I can’t wait for the next book!!!!!!

Fan-Bloody-tastic!!!!
first review I've ever written and the only reason I'm writing it is because this is truly the best book I have ever read / heard sorry to say it RR Martin but this makes Game of Thrones look "so so" I couldn't recommend it more highly!
please please please don't make us wait too long for the third book! and please do another trilogy after this!!

Epic
That felt like more of an experience than a book. The descriptive language is insane, the character development is incredible. Although long, it’s 100% worth it

magnificent
The story was magnificent and had so many twists. I was constantly gasping, mouth agape at the events. The new narrators are also a huge improvement.

Amazing!!
Several plot twists and more rawness than previous books, to depict how horrendous war truly is.

Just as addictive as the others I the series
This latest installment is just as gripping as the previous ones and good to see the younger generations coming into their own. the only downside is it's too addictive, I've missed deadlines because I've been be so groomed with it. and now I have to wait goodness knows how long for the next book. I am really looking forward to that one coming out.

Depressing but good.
The dark tone from the previous book gets worse, and I struggled to get through this one. Not because it's not great, it's is, but the story takes on G.R.R.Martin levels of nausea. Still well worth the listen.
They've switched narrators on two of the characters and I'm not a fan. The new ones do a good job, but when it takes half the book to her over the annoyance of the "wrong" voice it deserves to be mentioned.
On to the next one, which I've read that it's not as dark. I hope that's correct.
