Light Bringer by Pierce Brown

adventurous emotional tense fast-paced

5.0

I loved this book. I'm in love with the series.

Everything clicks here, in my opinion. I'm completely satisfied with where this book took the story and where it's headed in the finale. The pacing was on point. Light Bringer flows from one great moment to the next. It's bloody damn fantastic. 

To be honest, I wasn't the biggest fan of the first book, Red Rising. However, looking back, it was the perfect starting point for this epic. After hindersight and a reread, I would probably rate it a shamelessly biased 5 stars. It was, after all, the start of something prime. My thought after finishing Light Bringer was that I wanted to start this series all over from the beginning. That is the best feeling a book can deliver and should be commended for that accomplishment. 

I can confidantly say this series has solidified a spot in my top 10 series of all time, and it's not even completed. That is high praise from me, and it's deserved. The audio books are great, too. Tim Gerald Reynolds is a perfect fit for the Red Rising saga. I was relieved and excited to see he is the sole narrator of Light Bringer. 

I would and will recommend this series to every book lover out there. Sci-fi epics like this can't be found just anywhere. It deserves more celebration and readership.
