Yeah this is insane.
The writing takes some getting used to be one you get used to it hooks you right the fuck in and its so incredibly good at drawing you in to the atmosphere of the book. Dialogue is hilarious, realistic and terrifyingly well written. Its so well written i know for a fact i dont 100% understand the book and i probably never will, but im okay with that because i still experienced the story alongside the characters.
The world is unrelenting. The people are horrible. The violence is brutal. The kind are unrewarded. Must read.

Fantastic space-opera madness.
This book is everything the first one promised me to be and im beyond satisfied after reading this.
Darrows character gains much more depth as we start to see him doubt himself and force himself to trust his allies. The side cast also improves DRASTICALLY as both previous and new side characters are introduced, each with very distinct personalities and motivations.
The chain of events flow together seamlessly and the book feels like a much more complete experience compared to red rising. I felt baffled after every turn this book took because it just gets crazier and crazier.
Just absolutely insane
7.5
A solid, slightly underwhelming, sometimes impressive, mostly meandering ending to the first trilogy.
Slightly uneven pacing that had me bored for some parts of the book. As usual the highs are pretty high. the lows arent neceserrily low but theyre noticeable. Second half of the book is DRAMATICALLY better than the first half, its actually quite remarkable.
