About this audiobook

Honor and betrayal fuel a caste-shattering revolution in the action-packed new novel from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Red Rising Trilogy. Ten years after the events of Morning Star, Darrow and the Rising are battling the remaining Gold loyalist forces and are closer than ever to abolishing the color-coded caste system of Society for good. But new foes will emerge from the shadows to threaten the imperfect victory Darrow and his friends have earned. Pierce Brown expands the size and scope of his impressive Red Rising universe with new characters, enemies, and conflicts among the stars.

Ratings and reviews

I have a really hard time getting through because of the accent of one of the narrators. English is not my native language. I've read and listened the previous books without issues. This book has multiple narrators and it demands a lot of focus. If I had known this, I wouldn't have purchased the audiobook and stick with the regular book.

decent book, the shifts in POV could use some work for pacing. the narration for the Lysander chapters is awful. no drama at all, reads high tension/emotional scenes with a monotone nonchalance.

fantastic book! compared to the previous trilogy I found it to be a bit slow but the way he morphs new characters storys in while also running up to speed on old favs from the previous books and building up an already gigantic universe with even more culture it's truly amazing. Granted I didn't completely fall for Iron Gold until I finished Dark Age but Pierce Brown is really out doing himself with this second trilogy! can't wait for book three to be released!
