For me the sequels are better even with the two that we currently have. Pierce leveled up in every way, took his time to build characters and flesh out the setting.

@bolla6339 9 месяцев назад

I'm kind of on the fence on iron gold, because I've heard he changes the pov often and I usually hate when they do that

@GaryRodeo Год назад

Just started on Iron Gold 😎, liking the new POVs so far

@DJ9724 Год назад

So far I have loved every single book in the series. My rating: 8/10 Red rising 9/10 Morning star, Iron gold 10/10 Golden son, Dark age

@RedFuryBooks Год назад

I'll take it under advisement haha. I'll likely try again once the series is completed. I did love that original trilogy!

@AutomailUser Год назад

Iron Gold is a bit of a slower pace but that doesn't mean it's bad by ANY means. Pierce Brown is a great writer (and an amazingly sweet person) that everyone should read/meet if they get the chance. Highly underrated.

@thebrothersgwynne Год назад

Fine, Mike. I’ll read them! Arm successfully twisted. Ed

@regulah2125 Год назад

Great video Mike! You will get a lot of people to give the sequel series a try for sure. I hope you get that early review copy.

@Wouter_K Год назад

On three quarters of Iron Gold and looking forward to dark age. I think the new multiperspective style really fits this stage of the story. I think all the perspectives in Iron Gold are equally interesting to understand what's going on in the solar system. And I agree, yes it's slower paced, but the action is still breathtaking. Thank you for getting me to prioritize this series with your readalong :)

@matthewlockhart6243 Год назад

Nice one Mike. I’m keen to start in

@Paromita_M Год назад

The intro 😂! Great video.

@totallysick88able Год назад

Alright you’ve got me excited to keep going!

@chrissereni9606 Год назад

The Romulus au Raa scenes were probably my favorite so happy to hear there is more like this in the future installments. By the end of the first trilogy, I was definitely tired of the first person POV. Happy to hear it goes multi POV and into more depth. This video definitely convinced me to keep reading the series!

@isaiahsanchevy9252 Год назад

I kept up with the read along through Morningstar, and I loved the ending so much I decided I had to read something else before jumping into the sequels. Just let me be happy before I have to see my favorite characters cut up and bloodied lol. Reading Phillip's book now and loving it so far.

@safinan8008 Год назад

Thank you for a great video 🎥

Like all your videos, this one too is informative, entertaining and fun ❤ keep going my best fantasy guide in this universe. You are the best 💞

@MrHehj Год назад

On holiday this week and picked up Iron Gold for a quick read, really enjoying it so far - the politics and the darker tone. First time round I was underwhelmed by Red Rising, then didn’t read Golden Son for ages and had forgotten who everyone was and was kinda meh on the series. Reread from the start a year later and loved it, but wasn’t fussed about reading on until the series completed. But your cheerleading has done the trick, as ever.

Really does feel like a new series only with some of the same old characters that we love! So fantastic imo!

@bryanthomas7420 Год назад

I can’t wait for Lightbringer!

@s.p.8508 Год назад

I actually just finished Dark Age, that was one of the best written books I’ve ever read. The amount of insane stuff that happens in this book was astounding. It’s actually probably now my favorite Red Rising book, taking over Golden Son’s #1 spot.

@PerfectCell9 Год назад

I didn’t love Iron Gold but Dark Age blew me away… it got me to care about Lyria lmao so glad I kept with it. Great video as always Mike! 👍🍻

@Mmitchtexas Год назад

Bought the first Red Rising on kindle yesterday, can’t wait to dive in!

@hahppyhour5380 16 дней назад

Did you like it ?

@Zydlik7 Год назад

I'm 100 pages into Iron Gold and while I do think it's good I'm not a fan of the split pov. I had the same problem with First Law. Although, unlike a lot of people, first person has never bothered me.

@rue1629 Год назад

I've only read Iron Gold so far (keeping pace with the readalong) but on the strength of that one alone I suspect I'm going to easily prefer the sequel books! I think the change to multi POV works SO well!

@jmoney12ization Год назад

Everything you said was spot on. Im a listener so i have listened to them all and loved them. First trilogy one narrator and perfect choice. Perfect progression of growing up like you mentioned from first to third. Next set of books is the same. You aren't going to like every pov. That shouldn't ruin the books for you. There are plenty of others to love.. in fact you should enjoy disliking those characters. Couple pov i even thought about skipping on re red. I love how the characters progress and seeing through the eyes of others. I guess I'm a dark person or didn't know i was into grim dark cause although I was wowed and shocked at times, those things made the book for me. They fit the characters and the settings and the culture. One of my favorite characters is one of the... "kinda bad guys." Spoiler.. not spoiler... tactus brother. Perfect amount of cruelty and elegance. And narrator kills it on his voice.. biggest complaint is to much going on.. specifically to many bad guys. They are everywhere.. and multiplying.. yet always a way out of the most impossible situations. Having said that, Most of the time, a price is paid... i count the whole series as one book and rate it top 3 ever for me. Thanks Mike for sharing with others. Love the reviews

@wordsandwhiskeypodcast7841 Год назад

Love it; thanks for pumping this up, because uh, come ON folks! hahaha

@texaspipeman8973 Год назад

Started iron gold and loving it

@asfaloth12 Год назад

I am behind on the Readalong, but hope to finish the original trilogy and continue on to the sequels! Thanks for sharing your thoughts on them, as it really cements my decision.

@Ulmo90 Год назад

Great reasons for reading sequel trilogy. I'm about 200 pages in Iron Gold and it jas been great, but it is sure a bit darker

@Stewart000 Год назад

I'm about a third through Iron Gold & am completely hooked. The art museum threw me a bit - not the tale I expected. I'm worried about the next book- haven't read true grimdark before. Lots of experience with grimdark adjacent stuff.

@Emroczart Год назад

It’s better to do it than live with the fear of it…. Btw timeline is awesome no idea how I missed that when I was younger

@gringopistolero 9 месяцев назад

If you enjoyed this series I recommend the Sun Eater series begining with "Empire of Silence" by Christopher Ruocchio.

@mattkaupa5182 Год назад

All right, man. You’ve convinced me. But as a fellow Herbert, Martin, Abercrombie fan…do I start with this or Sun Eater?

I didn’t even know there were sequels. Your video title is the first I’d heard of them.

@gunneratijuf8915 Год назад

Dark Age is the best book I’ve ever read.

@lucasbertsche3710 Год назад

I actually think I’ll like the sequels more than OT! I’ve really enjoyed the series so far but my biggest complaints have been the extremely fast pace and the single POV, and it sounds like the sequels fix that.

@Templar5 Год назад

Yes

@tropicaltuna Год назад

I'm one of the people who hate on Iron Gold, it really didn't work for me at all. But with all the great things I hear about Dark Age, I'm really thinking about giving it another go. My thought is to wait until the sequel series is complete, then do a full read starting with Red Rising, as it's been a really long time.

@mnbgfdsa Год назад

I will definitely read it, but I don't want lightbringer to end like golden son, and to have to wait.... I will wait till it's done I can't imagine what it must have been for the people reding when it came out 😮

@AlexNitsu Год назад

The t-shirt kind fits the Red Rising series' aesthetics. Also, Red Rising sequels are amazing (even though book 1 started kinda slow for me)

@brentasmith Год назад

Agree with all of this 100 percent. The sequels are fantastic and more of what I wanted.

@josephhirning2642 Год назад

I'm about 100 pages into Iron Gold. Yes, The POVs are very jarring, but I'm enjoying the story so far.

@Avarn388 Год назад

I’m waiting for the next book. I’m going through Red Rising trilogy now( only read the first book and got the other two) so I’m curious to see how this series is. The first book I thought was ok. Not awful. Just ok.

"It costs nothing to try." Oh it would cost a lot of my emotional sanity, that's the thing. I'm still unsure... Thanks for the video though.

@JohnDoe-xf9ly Год назад

First 3 were great. Iron gold i hated it. Half way through dark ages. The first part with darrow on mercury god it was so hard to get through. Just fight scene after fight scene not much of at all dialogue between characthers and no time for the reader to take a breath. Also brown has started using philopsyophicale quote one after another after another after anptger. To explain sometging he uses like 5 examples and i think while writting dark ages he had a dictionary next to him to use big words so he can just look i teligent. ( dont get me wrong i love learning new big words i belive we all only talk the basic street english but brown does it ocer board to the poi t he is trying so hard). Now when i came to the virgina and politic part of the book i have to admit my mind started to change about likeing it. I love polutics in book dax and virgina are great characthers also we got sevro back and finally some real dialogue between people

@some5794 Год назад

I need a Victra POV. I love that woman
