Like his fellow Reds, he works all day, believing that he and his people are making the surface of Mars livable for future generations. Yet he toils willingly, trusting that his blood and sweat will one day result in a better world for his children. But Darrow and his kind have been betrayed. Soon he discovers that humanity reached the surface generations ago. Driven by the memory of lost love, Darrow sacrifices everything to infiltrate the legendary Institute, a proving ground for the dominant Gold caste, where the next generation of humanity’s overlords struggle for power. There, he will stop at nothing to bring down his enemies . . . even if it means he has to become one of them to do so. “Meteoric.” — Entertainment Weekly “Top-notch.” — USA Today “[Pierce] Brown’s plots are like a depth charge of nitromethane dropped in a bucket of gasoline.” —NPR Don’t miss any of Pierce Brown’s Red Rising Saga: RED RISING • GOLDEN SON • MORNING STAR • IRON GOLD • DARK AGE • LIGHT BRINGER Review: Solid dystopian fantasy series starter. - Gorgeous edition! and of course, an amazing start to a dystopian type fantasy tale. I think this series appeals equally to women and men. Great worldbuilding and a nice comradery with supporting cast and strong relationships/found family situation develops later in the book. Definitely takes you through all the emotions with plenty of action and political plotting. Darrow is a very strong, relatable main character. Determined, but not dark. Yes, there is romance in this series, but it is slow to build and is not the center of the story. Review: Beautiful special edition - If you haven't started Red Rising, what are you waiting for?? This special edition makes a wonderful addition to any collection and looks good on any bookshelf. The book itself is excellent and only gets better after this book.

WOW
This special edition is QUALITY alright? The cover art of the book and slip case are STUNNING and the paper quality is amazing, the art of the map and the poster are just QUALITY. It even smells incredible, will update once read but WOW Post-Read edit: So…. I REALLY liked this book, idk why but even tho Darrow does come off as a Gary Stu sometimes just being able to do stuff no other gold can, the story hooked me, and I’ll read Gold Son

Great Price and Amazing Book
Great price (was $60 USD this fall at some of my local bookshops at one point), and the story is great to kickoff the series. The book will be slow, including the worse part in the series, but after halfway point it picks up and doesn't stop.

Honestly buy it. You simply can’t regret it.
This is my favourite book that I own. The details and the overall beauty of this book and slip cover are incredible. I have a growing collection of books and try to get special editions when available. This is hands down my favourite. The actual story is incredible. I’ve been a person who primarily reads fantasy with a dash of Romantasy when the source material interests me. Never been the biggest fan of sci-fi, not because I’m adverse but I had yet to find one to enthrall me. Enter Red rising. I don’t want to spoil anything but I’m currently reading book 5 of 7 (book 7 red god is hopefully coming out 2026). This book was the gate way drug I didn’t know I needed. Heavy on the school vibes this book leans YA-ish but set you up for a series that quickly becomes so much larger and full blown space opera. The hype around this book an series are 100% warranted.
