  • 'Lo Howlers! This is a non-spoiler Light Bringer book review, or more accurately: me gushing for 18 minutes and 26 seconds. Brb I'm just going to go stare at a wall and/or continue to annoy Carlos by talking about nothing but Red Rising. Thanks for watching!

    I’m bookmarking this to watch in the future for after I get to this one! The Red Rising trilogy was one of the most impactful and emotional reads of my life, and I am so excited to continue the journey into the sequel series soon.

      If that’s how you felt about the original trilogy I’d say you’ll love the sequels (hopefully)! It’s an incredible series 😍

    Just started Light Bringer.....I'm getting back into the groove.......I've forgotten some previous details etc since I read Dark Age quite awhile ago.....but, wow, I do love the world and the characters so very much.
    I'm excited that you're thrilled with the book. Thanks for your thoughts. ❤

    Really well said Yolanda. I also think this may be my favourite book of all time. I have not been able to stop thinking about it since I finished. Agree about the quotes, there was so many I loved so much and just keep going back to look at.

    What a bloodydamn great review! That intro was so perfect!
    If you had told me a year ago I would go from not wanting to touch the series after DNFing the first book three times to nearly frothing from the mouth for Light Bringer, I wouldn't have believed you 😂. I'm still making my way through this book, on the edge of my seat, wanting to know what happens to these characters!

    I am so happy you loved it Yolanda, I'm actually afraid to read it without Red God. I don't know if my mental health can take it. Dark Age devastated me. Your comments welcome. I love the Red Rising original trilogy.

    Such a wonderful and passionate review. I resonate so strongly with everything you said about this book, about the series as a whole, about Pierce Brown's writing, and of course the beautiful things you said about reading and books in general at the beginning.
    I'm still in a bit of a stupor from finishing Light Bringer last night. I read the last 180 pages in basically one sitting and stayed up until past 3am. I don't want to write spoilers in this comment section just to be safe, but all I'll say for now is: Clang. Clang. Clang.
    Yeah, you know what I'm talkin about.
    I am astounded by how epic and well written that whole section is. The build up to it, the execution of it. Wow. The writing is so sublime and deep and powerful. I can't get over how awesome it is.
    I'm looking forward to you talking more about Red Rising in future videos!

      I know exactly the scene your referencing and I think no it might be one of the most well executed scenes I’ve read. Goosebumps as I was reading.
      I’m definitely still in a bit of a stupor as well, digesting all of the emotions this boom made me feel. I’m glad you loved it as well! Powerful stuff indeed 🔥
