#3 - Red Rising
I liked this one more than Golden Son but less than [[Red Rising]]. It felt like a good wrap-up to the story. It had more movement in the characters and a few twists and turns as well. Pierce Brown does a nice job of tying up loose ends. It didn't feel rushed; it didn't feel disingenuous. There was a bit of emotion to it as well. I can't say this will be a reread, but I'm glad I read the Red Rising Saga.
4/5
Quotes:
- My body fades. Seconds becoming an eternal twilight. Everything slowed. Everything so pointless and poignant as I see how ridiculous our human strength is in the end. Take us from our bubbles of life and what are we?
- In war, men lose what makes them great. Their creativity. Their wisdom. Their joy. All that's left is their utility. War is not monstrous for making corpses of men so much as it is for making machines of them and woe to those who have no use in war except to feed the machines.
- Farmers make culture. Nomads made war.
- Treason is a matter of the date, Proctor.
- If pain is the weight of being, love is the purpose.
