What can I say about this series that I haven't said already? For those who are worried about this book being dark and hard to read. Yes, it's dark and gruesome. But it's entirely engrossing. In the last few chapters I could not sit down and read, I had to walk around and jump and scream as the final battle raged. Pierce Brown has done a spectacular job with dark age, his writing of action and battle is unparalleled.
The new POVs were much more enjoyable in dark age. Darrow-Lysander action is my favorite part of this book, it is better than any other battle in the red rising saga.
On the downside (as minor as it is), the political drama was less impressive than Iron Gold. IMO nothing beats the political scenes with Romulus (Iron Gold, Morning Star). Looking forward to more Moon Lord drama in Light Bringer. Virginia's POV does some of the political drama heavy lifting but it's just her going through stuff.
