Brown does an excellent job creating multiple perspectives of all the main characters. All the characters are misunderstood aland I literally have no idea how I want the last book of the series end because I care for each of characters in the book.

I am a huge fan of all of the red rising books. This one took me much longer to read than all the others in the series. There are many story lines happening at once and I found myself having to re-read a bit to put all the pieces together but WOW this hit me with so many emotions. I’m scared to start Light Bringer because I am afraid of what is to come and also so sad for this series to end.

I dropped this series 8 or so years ago because Darrow's decline from a man of the people into a man of war made my heart too sad. Picking this book up after so many years later and I forgot just how gruesome the Red Rising series can be. I know it's called Dark Age, but goddamn, read the content warnings. Once again, characters you love die and things only get worse for our cast. Fingers crossed that it eventually looks up.

Holy shit. This was a tough read in the fact that sometimes I had to put the book down and process what had happened. The violence, brutality, and heartbreak in this book is not for the faint of heart.
