Light Bringer

Red Rising, Book 6

By: Pierce Brown

Narrated by: Tim Gerard Reynolds

Darrow returns as Pierce Brown’s New York Times bestselling Red Rising series continues in the thrilling sequel to Dark Age.

“The measure of a man is not the fear he sows in his enemies. It is the hope he gives his friends.”—Virginia au Augustus

The Reaper is a legend, more myth than man: the savior of worlds, the leader of the Rising, the breaker of chains.

But the Reaper is also Darrow, born of the red soil of Mars: a husband, a father, a friend.

The worlds once needed the Reaper. But now they need Darrow. Because after the dark age will come a new age: of light, of victory, of hope.

ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!!!!!

The story is so well written, and coupled with Tim Gerard Reynolds narration, it’s an awesome combination.
I was not initially a fan of the multiple voice actors in the prior two books, but after multiple relistenings of the whole series, they grew on me. That being said, all you people complaining that they should have had more than one voice narrating. Take your Bloody Damn opinions and shove them up your fart hole, as Sevro would say. Tim Gerard Reynolds is an artist, and did an excellent job as Darrow, Lysander, and Lyria.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got to start this one over again to see what I may have missed the first read through.
“BREAK THE CHAINS!”

Good story, miss the VA’s

The story was overall pretty excellent but I really miss Moira Quirk, James Langton and Rendah Heywood.

Another masterpiece!

Another great work by Pierce Brown, only flaw in the audio version is the voices used for the different characters altered slightly from the previous books.

Great story, great addition to the saga.

Why the change in voice?

Farrows voice change in the beginning was off-putting but about 5-6 hours is a bit better. Great story!

Fantastic next entry

Love this series and loved this book. Great story and great characters. Darrow’s internal struggle is very real this one

Surprised to be delighted.

I was expecting a bit of the typical sequel letdown and was blown away! Masterful storytelling, I think this has to be a top installment in the series. I am delighted and am reminded why I loved the series in the first place. I will be waiting to buy the next book, I'm very much looking forward to a certain vengance.

Gripping. Such a good series to invest in.

Oh man, this was just such a fantastic listen. Pierce Brown had me parked in my driveway because I didn’t want to hit pause. This has been an amazing series that keeps getting better. I’m so looking forward to the next one (and not, because I don’t want it to end).

I can’t believe how poorly the VA is being rated. I thought he did an amazing job.

Amazing!

I’ve listened to the whole series multiple times. Great great book! The narrator is fantastic, whether it’s just one or many I got lost in the story and it didn’t even matter.

Best so far

I could hardly stop listening to this book, and am so sad it's over! So good, I'm going back and listening to the series from the beginning once again.

This was an emotional roller coaster

This was and emotional roller coaster in my opinion. I’ve been apart if this story from the beginning. With me re-reading or listening to my favorite parts of all these stories. This book was by far the absolute best of the whole series. Brown, you had me overjoyed and then furious with you. I was brooding over how this story played out. It took me some time to process this story after I was done.
