About Read Rising

We are a group of friends, Craig, Sam, Liz, and Nick, with a shared love of fantasy and sci-fi, brought together by the works of Pierce Brown. Join us weekly for our in-depth discussions of the series. We're now into the fourth season, which covers 'Iron Gold.' While the focus of season four is on the fourth book in the Red Rising Saga, if you haven’t read the series yet, we DO discuss spoilers. We will do our best to avoid and/or mark any and all spoilers for books 5 and 6. BE AWARE!!

   4.7 The Bleeding Place (Iron Gold, Ch. 40 - 48)

   The crew centers on Lysander, Darrow, Lyria, and Ephraim, with a mix of character analysis, plot recap, and plenty of side commentary on the series’ moral messiness.

   4.6 Worst Playdate Ever (Iron Gold, Ch. 31 - 39)

   We cover Ephraim's heist, Lysander's tense prison scenes, and Lyria's increasingly dangerous orbit around the core players. The episode focuses on betrayal, shifting loyalties, and how much damage people can do while insisting they're still the good guys. Buckle up for the suck, buttercup.

   4.5 Lord of the Dust (Iron Gold, Ch. 22 - 30)

   Pierce Brown! Iron Gold! These chapters split between political fallout, a dangerous prison break, and three very different POVs trying to survive a society in collapse. Nick, Sam, Liz, and Craig focus on how much of this section is setup and how much of it is quietly doing heavy lifting for the rest of the book. What say you?
