Light Bringer Preview: Full Interview w/ Pierce Brown 

On the topic of favorite books. For me it's Dark age, Darrow's back and forth with Lysander was really well done, the whole mercury arc is probably my favorite in the story so far, and seeing The Reaper from the outside when he finds Lysander's forces in the desert is my favorite chapter in the books.

I hope you guys can get Pierce back for a spoiler filled episode because Light Bringer was such an amazing book. I’d love to hear his complete thoughts for a lot of these questions

Pierce is more excited talking about Ancient Roman and its figures than anything else. Gotta love his passion. It seeps through the pages and helps make the series what it is.

I love Pax (both of them actually!). I hope there is more of him in Book 7. He’s Brown’s Arya for me, the character that pulls me in the most.

Lightbringer was amazing and the end is crazy

Good Authors give you great books. Great Authors drag readers kicking and screaming to subject matter they never knew they wanted and are eternally grateful at the end. - No clearer example of this then the 2nd Trilogy in the RR universe. Thank you Pierce!

I really wish there were more merch for Red Rising definitely would purchase

Pierce is a complete legend

Hey guys, I just learned about the books last month, and I have listened to all of them back to back. I'm obsessed, and I'm glad to find thoughtful commentary, and this interview with Pierce is great! I'll be plowing through your pod and hope to keep exploring this excellent series.

Definitely improved on light bringer. On iron gold it was hard to differentiate at times. All in all. Phenomenal series.

His explanation of darrow vs Lysander as "what do you do with what you have" floored me

iron gold/ dark age were superb in my opinion, on my second or third relisting of the original trilogy it was just a enjoyment of the trilogy but on my second and third relisting of IG\DA i was seeing threads of narrative i missed the first time, i was seeing subtle interwoven threads which made it very enjoyable all over again. I, like many others are eagerly awaiting Lige Bringer and just hope we won't be waiting too long for Red God. excellent series and superb author

Iron Gold was definitely a grower in comparison to the previous series, but going back and re reading after Dark Age makes it even better. As for Lysander, he's actually one of my favorite characters. He really _wants_ to be good despite his upbringing and programming. On top of that, he's endured so much as an heir pawn for his grandmother, but it's important to remember how young he is to understand where some of his arrogance and indecisiveness comes from. He's not _likeable_ , but boy is he fascinating. So excited to see his part in the story. The character I actually hate would be Lorn 😂 he's so loved by some people, when he was more of a hypocrite and sure of his own honour far more than Lysander? He's so honorable he guts an enemy by surprise after they've already surrendered. Edit: I finished Lightbringer. Fuck Lysander.

Just finished it a minute ago. Was a great book, well worth the wait. Everything I wanted and more. Set up perfectly for the finale.

This was such an enjoyable interview to watch, you guys asked so many deep, insightful questions about the series

I was the same way as you guys about Lysander... Until Chapter 84. Curious how y'all feel now.

Will I listen to this again. You betcha.

Humbling river is a great song! Looking forward to lightbringer

That really upsets me that there is only 1 narrator dont get me wrong love TGR but I enjoyed having a female narrator for the female POVs and Ephraims narrator was the tits but of course he's not gonna be around

I AM SO HYPED

Thank yall! ❤

Looking forward to watching this, but going read Light Bringer first. I dont want even a whiff of a spoiler!

Listening while doing accounting

Finally found someone who agrees that Iron Gold is one of the best!

Great read. Rankings after 6 books Golden Son Dark Age Morning Star Lightbringer Iron Gold Red Rising All of them are good though.

Does anyone here know which translation of the Iliad Piece Brown would recommend?

As you've read it (or are reading it still) how does it rank amongst the saga? Haven't been this excited for a book release in a long, long time. ONE MORE DAY

Dude is handsome. Like hallmark movie handsome.

Man finally this book is out for audio. 🤣

Homie has read Storm before the Storm for his Roman history.

I didn’t like that Cassius was killed. My opinion is that he needed to stay with Darrow till the end, as victors. Overall, Light Bringer was a great read. 😊😊😊😊

How do y’all feel about Lysander now?!

It's tomorrowww

I think that the new series is much better and while Darrow has been more of a background character in this sereis. The series is stronger for extended perspectives It really has grown from where it started in rising. Much appreciation for this work.

Wow the disrespect to Gormenghast 😔

Yeah.. sorry I hate Lysander. Because he says one thing and does the other. For me is unthinkable to betray someone that took care of you and loved you. But I understand what you guys are saying. Apple is horrible too, but I like him. I feel bad for liking him, but he is so dramatic and fun to read. I think when the series is done, I can feel different about Lysander. I most definitely hate the Jackal. From the moment he killed Pax. And now is a gross little clone! I wonder if Lysander is a clone…

Logotype the time

Why no comments on the Pierce Brown interview. That’s my favorite series of all time you guys are wack
