## Description

desertcart.com: Red Rising (Audible Audio Edition): Pierce Brown, Tim Gerard Reynolds, Recorded Books: Books

Review: "Rising to Greatness: A Five-Star Review of Red Rising" - "Red Rising" is an electrifying journey into a future society where class divisions are stark and rebellion is the only path to justice. Pierce Brown crafts a masterful narrative that hooks readers from the very first page and refuses to let go until the final, heart-pounding conclusion. From the outset, Brown introduces us to Darrow, a member of the lowest caste in a color-coded society that mirrors the hierarchy of ancient Rome. His world is one of backbreaking labor and brutal oppression, where the ruling Golds maintain their power through fear and manipulation. But when tragedy strikes and Darrow discovers the true extent of the Golds' cruelty, he embarks on a quest for vengeance that will reshape the fate of the entire solar system. What sets "Red Rising" apart is its richly developed world-building. Brown paints a vivid picture of a future society where technology and mythology intertwine, where towering cities scrape the skies and sprawling mines stretch deep into the earth. Each color-coded caste is meticulously crafted, with its own customs, traditions, and societal norms, creating a vibrant tapestry that is as immersive as it is compelling. But it's not just the world itself that captivates; it's the characters who inhabit it. Darrow is a protagonist for the ages, a complex and deeply flawed hero whose journey from oppressed miner to revolutionary leader is nothing short of epic. Along the way, he encounters a cast of equally memorable characters, from the fierce and loyal Mustang to the enigmatic and deadly Sevro. Each character is fully realized, with their own motivations, desires, and inner demons, adding depth and dimension to an already richly layered narrative. And then there's the action. "Red Rising" is a non-stop thrill ride from start to finish, with pulse-pounding battles, daring escapes, and breathtaking feats of bravery that will leave readers on the edge of their seats. Brown's prose crackles with energy and intensity, drawing readers into the heart of the action and never letting up until the final page is turned. But beneath the pulse-pounding excitement lies a deeper message about power, privilege, and the nature of freedom. "Red Rising" is a story about the fight for equality and justice, about the lengths we will go to for the ones we love, and about the sacrifices we must make to create a better world. It's a story that is as timely as it is timeless, resonating with readers long after the final chapter has ended. In conclusion, "Red Rising" is a tour de force of science fiction storytelling. With its richly imagined world, unforgettable characters, and heart-stopping action, it's a book that deserves every bit of its five-star rating. Pierce Brown has crafted a modern masterpiece that will stand the test of time, and I cannot recommend it highly enough.
Review: The Storytelling Bar Has Been Raised - 2007. I remember when I first started reading Games of Thrones, the first book of George RR Martin’s epic Song of Fire and Ice series. It took me a few chapters to understand and fully follow the style and language, but as soon as I got to that point, I WAS HOOKED. Since, there hasn’t been a book, or series, that has captivated me as quickly or as intensely...until Red Rising, the first book in the Red Rising trilogy, by Pierce Brown. I. Couldn’t. Put. It. Down. No, seriously. It was bad. Not the book! I'm talking about my total lack of interest in everything else. I wasn’t gaming with my husband or hanging out with my friends...all I wanted to do was read. EVERYTHING about the book was incredible, especially the setting, the characters, and the writing. I think the book is best described as a Sci-Fi/Fantasy hybrid. It takes place in the far future (Sci-Fi), where the planets of the solar system have been colonized and each are governed by powerful families (Fantasy). They are all ruled by Octavia au Lune, who lives on Luna, also known as Earth’s moon. The story’s setting starts in the depths of Mars’s core, where our lead character is mining for helium-3 to support planet colonization. We also travel to the surface of Mars, into its slums, and into the society’s top educations institution, where the young elite are trained to rule. Each location is depicted beautifully. The storyline follows 16-year-old Darrow, a Red, who lives a simple life with his wife and family. In Darrow’s world, people are classified by color (and I'm not talking about the color of their skin). The Golds are the rich and powerful, whereas the Reds are the poorest with the least desirable jobs. Between, there is a whole spectrum of color, with each representing a different skill and station in life. Pierce does an excellent job of introducing the reader to characters of all colors and stations. And all shortcomings. The characters are very realistic, very believable, and very flawed. They are wicked, yet redeeming, sultry, yet vulnerable, beautiful, yet deadly. They are complex, which makes them real and relatable. Finally, Mr. Brown’s writing is absolutely incredible. His use of slang language is so thorough, so fluid, that I was instantly drawn into Darrow’s ruddy world. Sure, it took some getting used to, but that’s what made my brain tickle. I just HAD to make sense of this incredibly intricate language and dialect. He also does an incredible job of describing the complicated settings and characters. My imagination danced along with this text, creating vivid imagery and emotional attachment. I felt like I was a part of the story - the writing knew how to draw me in and keep me there, in the throws of the story. I don’t want to give too much away...the book is just so good and I want everyone to experience every little bit of it… Like I mentioned, the story follows Darrow. He is poor, and lives underneath the surface of Mars along with huge colonies of fellow Reds. One day, Darrow and his wife, Eo, are caught breaking the rules. The punishment? A public whipping. At the display, Eo, in rebellion, decides to sing a forbidden song, a crime punishable by death. On orders from the ArchGoverner of Mars, a Gold, she is hung on the spot, in front of the underground population, including Darrow. Red Rising is a story of his quest for vengeance...a quest that turns into an incredible journey. I CAN’T RECOMMEND THIS BOOK ENOUGH. I didn’t even mention the plot...which is by far the best quality of the entire book. But how do I discuss the plot without giving it away?? My favorite since Game of Thrones, I know I will be reading Red Rising one over and over again. AND THEY’RE MAKING A MOVIE! Details are a bit muddied, but it’s definitely listed on IMDB as “in development.” WEEEEEEE!!!! Pierce Brown is a screenwriter and novelist, currently residing in Los Angeles. He moved around quite a bit while growing up, due to his mother’s successful career. He received his degree from Pepperdine University in 2010 and sold Red Rising in 2012. Red Rising, his debut novel, was #20 on the NY Times Best Seller List. The sequel, Golden Son, rose to #6 on the same list, and the last installment of the trilogy, Morning Star, reached #1. Mr Brown has received the 2014 Goodreads Best New Author award, as well as the 2015 Goodreads Best Science Fiction Novel.

Blog: irenadams.com Caution, mild spoilers ahead. "Funny thing, watching gods realize they’ve been mortal all along." I was going to leave for a trip for 3 weeks and couldn’t bring physical copies of the books with me. At least not as many as I would want to. So, for the first time in years I bought kindle versions of a few books. I decided to clean my want-to-read and owned-to-read shelves and this is one that’s been on one of those lists for a long time. I don’t think the synopsis really convinced me and I wasn’t sure the book would be worth buying. I regret that I formed an opinion before giving it a real chance. I think I might want to have it on a shelf of my bookcase so I can re-read it or just flip through the pages to savor the good passages. This is one of those books that really surprised me. There was action, a bad-ass character, suspense… Everything you want in a good novel that takes you in its grip and doesn’t let go before you flip the last page. The future that this book is painting is simple but evil. It has been compared to The Hunger Games, and I thought the same by the middle of the book but P. Brown created something new. It may be another dystopian future, another example of our flaws and habits, but it is also an example of what we might become if a handful few can grab the seats of power and impose their will, hiding the rest of us in the dark for the next centuries. If I only knew that there would be Greek and Roman mythology involved I would have picked the book sooner. P. Brown used the names of the gods and their characteristics and attributes to show the different battling houses of the Golds, but at the same time mentioning the differences between Greek and Roman mythology. The main character is not perfect, but deep and easy to connect to. He might be above average in his skills or strength, but then again, it was all built for him. And throughout the pages P. Brown shows us the change in the protagonist, his doubts, his fears, but also his never ending will to push forward.We get to presence his evolution and the adjustment to his new role in the society. The story is gripping and full of twists. Even though some of the turns of the events are easy to foresee, the story is ever changing. The fluid relationship between the characters and the protagonist is sometimes surprising like with Tactus, Servo and Pax, other times not so much as with Mustang. But the author is not afraid to kill one or several of the characters you liked or started to like, leaving you on the edge of the seat to see what will happen next. It was a good ride and I hope you will take it too.
