This was great! Best book of the month for sure and I also think that this is certainly the best Red Rising book so far.
This book kind of had it all. I mean the action is always a highlight in these books and this was also true in this case. Very page turnery. It got some dark parts but was nowhere near als bleak as Dark Age (which was necessary for that book tbf) and the humor also was really good with lots of laugh out loud moments.
The general pacing was superb as well. It just goes from one banger moment to the next. I don't know how there can ever occur any sort of boredom.
Where this book got me the most though was just in terms of emotional impact. There were great character moments and the inner monologues are really fantastic in this one. We also got very impactful and tearjerking speeches, the camaraderie of our main characters each one of those flawed and damaged in some major way by previous events in this series was just heartwarming and also heartbreaking at the same time.
This just checked all the boxes of what I think a great book should be. It kind of makes my wanna reread the whole series before the final book Red God comes out.
