Darrow returns as Pierce Brown’s New York Times bestselling Red Rising series continues in the thrilling sequel to Dark Age. 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. Marooned far from home after a devastating defeat on the battlefields of Mercury, Darrow longs to return to his wife and sovereign, Virginia, to defend Mars from its bloodthirsty would-be conqueror Lysander. Lysander longs to destroy the Rising and restore the supremacy of Gold, and will raze the worlds to realize his ambitions. The worlds once needed the Reaper. But now they need Darrow, and Darrow needs the people he loves—Virginia, Cassius, Sevro—in order to defend the Republic. So begins Darrow’s long voyage home, an interplanetary adventure where old friends will reunite, new alliances will be forged, and rivals will clash on the battlefield. Because Eo’s dream is still alive—and after the dark age will come a new age: of light, of victory, of hope.

Straight into my favourites. Pierce Brown knows how to make you love his books but simultaneously break your heart all over again!
A much better book than the previous one. I thought this was the last one, and then getting to the last hundred or so pages I was like "oh no this is not close to finished".
I'll read the last one.
Once again my heart was jerked from one side to the other in this epic space opera. I wept, I felt hopeful, angry, relieved. This saga has yet to disappoint me and I can't wait for book 7.
Oh MY GOD THIS BOOK DEVASTATED ME. So much interpersonal drama. Really appreciated how the cast of characters was slimmed down and we were able to focus on the motivations and exploration of good and evil for each.
