never posted itt. Got into the series maybe 2-3 years ago now? I like this series, a lotta people try to compare it to Sun Eater, but other than both being sci-fi with societies/governments that like to cosplay as Ancient Romans in universe, they don’t have much in common imo.

This series took me a while to get into. Multiple attempts. DNF’d RR maybe 4 times before I actually finished it. Didn’t start the 2nd novel until like 6 months later. Honestly the audiobook narrator had a lot to do with it. I do not like Tim Gerard Leynold’s voice all that much. Specifically when he tries to make his voice softer, in those moments that are supposed to be emotionally heavy. His voice is like nails on a chalk board to me. Just immediately aggravating. Then the first book was really such a.. Hunger Games derivative, which was derived from Battle Royal. Which made this even more stale in my eyes.

2nd book wasnt all that much better imo. I saw that ending coming miles away so I was just like yea… ok cool. Probably took me month to finish.

Morning Star was definitely a step up from the first 2 books. Took maybe a 2-3 week break after finishing the 2nd book. A bit more world building in this one, and the PB started upping his prose imo.

Now from Iron Gold to Lightbringer? This man Pierce Brown must’ve had that pure Escobar era coke. From book 4 to 6, I read back to back to back in about 2 weeks at most. They are LEAGUES better than the first 3 novels. My God I’ve never witnessed such a jump in quality from an author before. This man was in the zone crafting this 2nd half. Big reason I haven’t done a reread is because I’m dreading having to read the first 3 novels again. I might just watch a YouTube video for a recap for em, and start my reread from Iron Gold on.But sometimes you need those lows, to appreciate the highs

Interesting.
I stopped after the 3rd book years ago and thought they were overrated. Maybe I should start the 4th book again since I kinda liked the world and setting.

Fam, I obviously had my doubts at first in Iron Gold, but I knew good would come in Dark Age. Just finished Part 3 of DA and damn, such a well written character. I just KNOW Volga is gonna get it back in blood when she finds out
