Per aspera ad astra.

January 28, 2015 by scootsa1000 3 Comments

Through hardships to the stars. Christ. I just finished Golden Son a few minutes ago. And I am exhausted. The sequel to the amazing Red Rising, Golden Son picks up the story a few years after the events of the first book. And then the action LITERALLY never stops. Each time something completely nuts would happen, and a chapter would end, I’d say to myself, “well. there’s no way he can top that.” And then I’d read the next chapter. AND MY GOD, PIERCE BROWN WOULD TOP […]

You know how sometimes you go to review a book and you just can’t figure out what to say about it? For, like, weeks on end?

Battle Royale in Space

March 31, 2014 by scootsa1000 3 Comments

There’s been a lot of recent hullaballoo about Red Rising. Pierce Brown is young and handsome and eloquent and has a lot to say about the world he has created in Red Rising, which I’m sure is making movie studios salivate at the prospect of finally producing the next Hunger Games franchise.

    I really enjoyed this one. I was particularly amused at Lady Catherine deBoutgh’s disgust at her assassin’s incompetence.
