Season two is live and poppin' off! The squad dives in to find Darrow in a Golden graduate school, where we meet some new enemies, and potentially add a couple of friends into the fold. Welcome to Golden Son by Pierce Brown!

This episode is literally FULL of spoilers for the ENTIRE series, from books 1-6. DO NOT LISTEN if you don't want to hear about new characters and deaths and drama. However, if you're all caught up with the series and just waiting for Red God, this is a fun one. Liz, Craig, and Sam kicked Nick to the curb for this episode, since he hasn't finished the second trilogy. Enjoy!

We wrapped up all of the parts for Red Rising, but (can you believe it) we had more to say! Grab some gluten free popcorn and enjoy the variety of topics and hot takes.

Hot take alert! Can we trust what Darrow says? Join the squad for episode five as we (allegedly) wrap up Red Rising by Pierce Brown.

Thanks for holding! Join us for a breakdown of Pierce Brown's Red Rising, Part III! We have a lot of fun in this one.

Join us this week as we dive into Red Rising Part II, from the moment when Darrow climbs from the dirt beneath the surface of Mars to the grueling moment when he must face Julian in 'The Passage.'

Per Aspera Ad Astra!

Hello and welcome to the Read Rising Podcast. We are a group of friends, Craig, Sam, Liz, and Nick, with a shared love of fantasy and sci-fi.

This season, we will be discussing Red Rising by Pierce Brown.  Right now, there are 6 books that have been released in the Red Rising Saga.  The first trilogy is made up of Red Rising, Golden Son, and Morningstar. 

We’ll spend a season on each book, breaking them into manageable parts.  We will absolutely be discussing major spoilers for books one, two, AND three in this first season, so we highly encourage you to NOT listen unless you’ve read all three books.  In fact, don’t listen unless you’ve finished the first trilogy.  

Omnis Vir Lupus - and, Pierce Brown, come onto the podcast.

The following conversation contains major spoilers for Pierce Brown's Red Rising trilogy. The series also includes depictions of graphic violence, torture, slavery, sexual violence, and genocide. Listener discretion is advised.

This episode, we discuss Part I of the first book - from the captivating first line to a maybe surprising death (have we mentioned there would be spoilers?). We’ll do a deep dive into the groundwork for all the heartbreak and brutality to come. We reflect on the first time we read the series, what it was that pulled us in, and how this part hits totally different on the re-read.

The following conversation contains major spoilers for Pierce Brown's first Red Rising trilogy, from Red Rising to Morning Star. The series also includes very adult content which can include violence, sexual violence, and genocide. Please take care while listening.
