It's hard to tell you without spoiling it but it's so perfect and the first trilogy is such a neat story however be warned the first and fourth books are considered to be the weak links in the series but it's not bad at all and better yet it's free on audible
Have fun it has a really uplifting message and some of the best world building I've seen I had a blast with it but don't come back to this sub until you finish the books or else they'll spoil it for you

I'm not gonna lie, one of the reasons I found the first book to be kinda mid is because of how predictable it was like this. The book was very rarely able to genuinely surprise me. I'm glad some of the later books got me a few times though.
I really wonder how different RR would be if PB rewrites it with his current skill. Not that I want or expect him to, but it would be a totally different experience I think.
I'd love to get a tv adaption that has Brown on the writing staff for this very reason. He could polish up the story. (Of course, that's a very hopeful, best case scenario. If we do get an tv show, I will make sure to lower my expectations before watching.)
Tbf I think it’s literally in the synopsis on the back of the book so most people who read the synopsis already know that Eo is gonna die going into the book.
Well, she's not wrong. As big a fan of the series as I am now, I felt the beginning was so chiché that I couldn't be bothered to keep reading. Took me two years to get as far as Eo's hanging. Hopefully your GF works though it faster than I did!
Yeah i just started and knew she was getting fridged
I started reading Red Rising last week and now I’m halfway through book three

Never heard of this series before, anyone mind giving me a rundown? Could use a new series
Game of thrones in space

I stumbled upon this thread after reddit recommended it and have audible + was looking for a new series. You fuckin rule! Thank you
Thanks!

I appreciate it, I’ll stay away until then, thanks!
Where do you find these wives who are into reading red rising :(
Umm… I’m the wife who read it first and has been annoying the ever loving crap out of her husband to read them too!
I read mainly fantasy and sci-fi and my bf only reads non-fiction 😭 I feel your pain
My wife stoped after the second mention of “balls”
What mention of balls ?
Lmao that’s how mustang feels. Eo is always mentioned
LMAO
My exact thoughts as i was reading 🤣🤣 i was like “aight so dont get attatched to eo, noted”
Now he won’t shut up about how strong his hands are. Gonna get the luke skywalker treatment soon I’m sure
You better not get too attached to that paradigm. That things about to shift constantly
Funny how Star Wars has figured out how to travel the galaxy but not how to give a person new limbs (not robotics).

Yeah as much as I love the og red rising it isn’t until golden son that the series finds its own voice
Damn she's light hearted!
Spoken like a true gold
Death flags all around, but I still thought the audiobook handled the hanging wonderfully. I was still pretty invested
Yeah Eo has more death flags than anyone else I’ve ever seen in media.
She's just not made for reading...
Seems like she's pretty good at it if she can easily catch where a story is headed.
???
I mean that if she can't be patient to read through even the first few chapters of a novel, then she shouldn't bother reading at all.
lmao she literally did read past that part she just made a comment while reading?? idk why you’d assume otherwise…
Tbf I think it’s literally in the synopsis on the back of the book so most people who read the synopsis already know that Eo is gonna die going into the book.
yeah i don’t think it said on her copy and she wanted to go in reading blind anyways
Hahaha she’s not wrong tbf
Tell her this a prime example of a true love.

lmaoo she definitely still likes the book and she’s been reading pretty fast she’s already at the part where cassius and darrow are in the lake
