Phenomenal ☆☆☆☆☆

I love the Red Rising series, but this experience was incredible. Now, who can we call at HBO to make this series into a film?

Fantastic Add on to Red Rising

If you would love to have more story after listening to Red Rising then this will fill that void. Listen to Red Rising before listening to this audiobook to avoid spoilers and big twists from the first book.

Pretty good

Pretty good but somehow it also seemed slow. Looking back on it as a whole, it’s great, but also missing something.

I got emotional, Expands on the comic books.

(Warning: do not read the comic books or listen to this adaptation unless you have read the first three books of the Red Rising saga first.)
I read the comics years ago. I liked the story but disliked the art because I thought it was sloppy. I really liked this dramatized adaptation. For the most part the dialogue is the same but the adaptation really expanded the story with more details I would follow along or go back and check how it compared to the comic books.

The production was top notch. Great voice work from the full cast. I loved Bryn's voice and got emotional the end, which didn't happen with the comic books.

And what a great addition to have an hour long interview with Pierce Brown at the end.

My only criticism is that I thought that instead of it being a continuous 4 hour story it should have been broken up by 6 chapters. And the chapters could be titled what the different issues were titled.

4 out of 5 Peerless Scars.

Love it!

I really enjoyed the Red Rising Trilogy. This book was great as it gives one the background on how the Sons of Aries got started.

Well done to all the actors, sound people and those who compiled this story!
