This book had me stressed from the start and by the end I had gone through every emotion. The pace is fast and action packed, decent twists, compelling character interactions, and it left me distraught that the final book isn’t out yet.

I HATE LYSANDER. He makes me angry, but I think that is what Pierce Brown wanted me to feel. He has gone from a knowledgeable little kid to an upstanding teen to the scum of the universe adult. Let me acknowledge that I loved this book, and Darrow finally realizing that he doesn't have to do everything alone is grand. I love the Lyria side of the story. Mustang and Sevro's learning and growing past thinking of just themselves or their families is outstanding. I wish Lysander would use his brain for once and see that he is turning into his grandmother in all aspects, even though he has started to despise her in every way. I need the last book so that I can be finished with hating Lysander

. This book is excellent and necessary after reading Dark Age. It resolves problems left in the last entry while posing more issues for the cast. We are building to a finish of epic proportions in Red God.

This was a ride! These characters have been through the ringer! As like all the previous books in this series the list of people and locations continue to change a lot but the worlds that've been built are still interesting. The politics are still engaging and the alliances that are formed at times make you hesitant to believe they will stick. Whether they stick or fall through, a few will definitely surprise you. So many of these characters you hate to love and love to hate.

I enjoyed most of the book but when I got a little past the half way point felt it did slog a little. Then the last 1/4 of the book I was VERY upset about a death. I had suspected it earlier in the book but then kept trying to convince myself it wouldn't happen. It did = Emotional Damage. Did enjoy most of the twists that occurred and thought they were good ways to move the story and tie certain things together.

I think Dark Age was better but this was a great installment and have no idea what to expect with Red God.

I sobbed for 20 minutes from 90% and onward, even after I finished. I love these characters. I love their development. I love the relationships they forge with others. I have so many highlighted quotes in these books that bring a smile to my face. Damn you, Pierce Brown.
