I'm starting now but I'll be reading very slowly. Will probably take me the whole month to finish :p So I'll be there as well ;)

Yay! One more to the fanclub!

I already preordered Dark Age.

P.S.: I find the cover for Iron Gold gorgeous, so I was a bit sad they didn't keep the same aesthetic.

Me too!

[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]

I second (third?) that assessment of the cover. fugly.

[Diana Stormblessed]

Y'all just don't like snakes. I wish they stayed with the black background. Even Iron Gold would have looked better on black imo.

Hahahaha I love white background! I thought the new trilogy would be all white and the old trilogy all black, that would be cool. This snakes on gold cover look like a bunch of literal shits in a sea of pee

Hahahahahaha 😂😂😂😭

sorry for the vivid description :D

I just need to come to this thread to be cheered up. I am the weird woman not continuing the Red Rising series, but yep that cover is so meh. It's not ugly, but it looks like a medical dictionary or something... (maybe about bowel movements?)

[Lena]

With this much feedback they’ll fix it for the paperback.

Petrik, every time I see that cover I will think of your comment. lol

[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]

Lol, Lola. That made me laugh.

I'm starting to think that Blood Song is a one hit wonder by Anthony Ryan for me. This trilogy is good but nothing amazing imo

[Miche]

Great job, Petrik!

My heart aches at that comment Petrik.

Niki Hawkes wrote: "My heart aches at that comment Petrik."

Hahaha i'm so sorry, Niki!! I think it was my expectation to blame too. I haven't read the rest of Raven's Shadow (which I heard fail miserably) so my expectation for this one is still quite high. It's a good trilogy but I failed to connect with the majority of the characters. The last book should be better for you than it was for me! :D

It's okay haha. I'm sure me geeking out about it for over a year didn't help matters at all. I'm hoping I like the last one as much as the previous two. If I do it will end up on my favorites list.

I'm going against the grain, but I wasn't in love. Good setup, but I was hoping for more than just setup.

[Zaara]

I felt the same about Malice, Diana. There was some awful clunky writing in there too...in patches....

[Petrik]

Don't give up! Give the second book a try and that one still doesn't grab you, then feel free to give up the series. That's my advice! :)

I'm def continuing to the second book. I'm hoping the pacing works better in the next book.

Yeah, it should be! One of my close friend gave the first book a 2 or 3 stars because she felt it was clunky and too much of a setup book. Starting from the second book until the last though it immediately shot up to her favorite series of all time. So yeah, give the second book a go first and I hope it will work ou t better for you! :)

[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]

That's good to know going in. :)

[Miche]

The writing in Malice started a bit clunky for me too, due to his use of short sentences. I felt it got better by the end, or maybe I got used to it. :)

You probably just got used to it ;-)

Just now noticed the cool front reserved space page, lol. Maybe next year.
Finished series Challenge. 4 Stars.
Also I ordered a pretty copy of Spinning Silver
https://www.goldsborobooks.com/produc...
We need pretty books in our lives right? How else will we keep our overflowing shelves challenge going?

[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]

Oh yeah, that was set up as our tracking template before Robert put together the spreadsheet for us. I think a few use it, but I haven't even looked at mine since January lol.

[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]

And I second what you said about buying pretty books. :)
