Histoire
Darrow is a Red, a member of the lowest caste in the color-coded society of the future. Like his fellow Reds, he works all day, believing that he and his people are making the surface of Mars livable for future generations. Yet he toils willingly, trusting that his blood and sweat will one day result in a better world for his children. But Darrow and his kind have been betrayed. Soon he discovers that humanity reached the surface generations ago. Vast cities and lush wilds spread across the planet. Darrow—and Reds like him—are nothing more than slaves to a decadent ruling class.

Histoire
The Catenan Republic—the Hierarchy—may rule the world now, but they do not know everything. I tell them my name is Vis Telimus. I tell them I was orphaned after a tragic accident three years ago, and that good fortune alone has led to my acceptance into their most prestigious school. I tell them that once I graduate, I will gladly join the rest of civilized society in allowing my strength, my drive, and my focus—what they call Will—to be leeched away and added to the power of those above me, as millions already do. As all must eventually do.

Histoire
Tunuva Melim is a sister of the Priory. For fifty years, she has trained to slay wyrms – but none have appeared since the Nameless One, and the younger generation is starting to question the Priory's purpose. To the north, in the Queendom of Inys, Sabran the Ambitious has married the new King of Hróth, narrowly saving both realms from ruin. Their daughter, Glorian, trails in their shadow – exactly where she wants to be. The dragons of the East have slept for centuries. Dumai has spent her life in a Seiikinese mountain temple, trying to wake the gods from their long slumber.

It has been 20 years since the end of the war. The dictatorial Augurs, once thought of almost as gods, were overthrown and wiped out during the conflict, their much-feared powers mysteriously failing them. Those who had ruled under them, men and women with a lesser ability known as the Gift, avoided the Augurs' fate only by submitting themselves to the rebellion's Four Tenets.

Nahri has never believed in magic. Certainly, she has power; on the streets of 18th-century Cairo, she’s a con woman of unsurpassed talent. But she knows better than anyone that the trades she uses to get by - palm readings, zars, and a mysterious gift for healing - are all tricks, both the means to the delightful end of swindling Ottoman nobles and a reliable way to survive. But when Nahri accidentally summons Dara, an equally sly, darkly mysterious djinn warrior, to her side during one of her cons, she’s forced to reconsider her beliefs.

Roshar is a world of stone and storms. Uncanny tempests of incredible power sweep across the rocky terrain so frequently that they have shaped ecology and civilization alike. Animals hide in shells, trees pull in branches, and grass retracts into the soilless ground. Cities are built only where the topography offers shelter. It has been centuries since the fall of the 10 consecrated orders known as the Knights Radiant, but their Shardblades and Shardplate remain: mystical swords and suits of armor.

Description
Honor and betrayal fuel a caste-shattering revolution in the action-packed new novel from the number one New York Times best-selling 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.

Doesn't live up to the Red Rising trilogy
Honestly, if this book was a stand alone it would be good. However, being part of the Red Rising series makes it only okay at best. I have listened to the Red Rising trilogy over a dozen times; this is no exaggeration. Without further ado I'll plunge into the review.
Audio:
This was a big annoyance for me; and many others have mentioned the level of volume is constantly changing throughout the book causing the listener to always increase or decrease the volume on their device.
Too many narrators. Tim Gerard Reynolds was in my opinion the figurehead of Red Rising on Audible. The moment I heard the female narrator start it was.. strange. It's always been through Darrow's perspective with Tim narrating, and it felt extremely out of place to me.
The names of characters are now pronounced differently. Okay for some reason the pronounciation of Priam REALLY bugged me; but there were also a few other characters who had their names buggered up. It's always been PREE (tree) - uhm. Why change it 4 books in? WHY?
Story:
I know that it has been several years after Morning Star has ended; but the change it politics seemed so absolutely drastic to me it's simply hard to consider it plausible. I want to avoid spoilers here but at the end of the Morning Star when the Telomanuses are talking to Darrow and are talking basically what comes after the rebellion they are constantly putting down democracy and so forth. Like democracy has been the running joke of the entire fucking series. And the characters; -- I need to take a break from writing this review.This book was so god damn disappointing you have no idea. I loved this series and I still do but this is akin to the disappoint of the Avatar live action movie.

Audio editing should be better!
the book was great, the performances were great but the editing of the multiple performances was pretty bad - constantly shifting in sound volume was extremely irritating and someone failed at their job on this oversight.

The person who mastered the audio should be fired
Great story once again from this series. The narration was frustrating due to the fact that the range in volume was all over the place. Apparently the audio technician has never heard of a compressor to make the difference in volume less.

Well written, but be careful what you wish for
Before you read this book, or what comes next, ask yourself how much you value that satisfying ending from book 3 in the last trilogy. If you’re tired of stories not ending and forcing characters you love into more drama and eventual death (I assume) then my advice is to walk away before reading.
Not that the book is bad, because it’s quite good.
Any time to re-examine characters after some time, they’re going to be a little different. And if you’re attempting to do more than retread the same plot and pay fan service, you’re going to ruffle some feathers.
It’s hard to see the relatively buttoned up ending of the last book undone by the march of time and the reality of conflict.
Of course the war didn’t end with Daro on the beach, meeting his son. But to see the darkness of it, is another thing entirely. It’s not as enjoyable a read frankly, because the story isn’t about winning a war against oppression, it’s about the need for maintaining a fractured, fragile government, and pragmatic incremental change over radical revolution.
Daro, like us reading, is still in the past, fighting a different war that is no longer relevant. It’s jarring to dip back into this world, expecting to see old friends as seasoned veterans who have lived happy lives, only to discover they never got their happy endings and very well may not. As realistic as it might be to show the conflict continuing, its immensely dissatisfying.
The other key difference, particularly with an audiobook, is the change from narrator to narrator and perspective. It works, and it allows for the story to be something new, but again, it’s jarring compared to the original trilogy. Daring and necessary yes, but not perfect. The larger story runs the risk of forgetting about, or not paying enough due to Daro, who has been our eyes and ears and for all intensive purposes, the reader, through a trilogy prior to this.
I sure hope the Reaper gets his happy ending, or like Star Wars recently, these new books could undo the investment I’ve made as a reader. Based only on this book, not what comes next, I’m intrigued, but more than a little worried I’m reading a tragedy not an adventure.
Fingers crossed the title of the next book betrays some lighter moments and returns a sense of purpose.
For the recording, I still really like the voice of Daro, and I think my biggest gripes with the change of perspective are Julian Elfer feeling a bit too emotionally charged. Probably has to do with how much pain the character is dealing with, but the performance tried my patience with how one note it was. Surely SOME of these lines can be delivered without pain?
Also, I really would have liked to see and hear Mustang’s perspective if there was going to be more than Daro. That feels like a missed opportunity.
Anyway, I’m still a fan, just a slightly more cautious one now. The book is well done, but If you value a happy ending, cap it before reading on.

I really liked it.
I read reviews and was tenative to pick this one up. Once I got used to the multiple narrators I found I liked each one. I felt it complimented the story, making me feel more connected to the characters.

Return to the red rising series amazing as ever, execution of the audio book not so much.
To start off, yes you should read/listen if you’ve enjoyed the original trilogy. A new age, new ideas, new characters, more of the fantastic world Pierce Brown has created. Simple as that. The perspective of writing different chapters from different characters is a bit unsettling at first, but soon becomes welcome as it expands the universe.
As for this specific audiobook, let’s just say after a few chapters I had ordered a physical copy of the book. I did see A LOT of reviews complaining about volume levels and bad mixing.. I experienced very little, if any of this. Ignore them, because I listen in the car and with in-ear headphones and no issues.
Back to the audiobook, If you didn’t know, the book is written from the perspective of 4 different characters, with 4 narrators for each character.
Darrow- Tim narrating Darrow is a top notch performance as always, he is god tier. My criticism comes from the other three:
Lyria - my personal favourite story line of the new three, but the narrator is terrible. She conveys too much emotion into it, it’s actually comical how bad it is at times. I just had to laugh even at the most serious story points. Sounded like she was ready to break down and cry. Literally read Lyria chapters, couldn’t do the audiobook for them. Terrible.
Lysander - not the worst narrator, but he had terrible punctuation to the point it left me confused. He outright skips pauses, commas, periods, and I often got lost understanding who was talking or how it was to be delivered. Went back and physically read chapters cause I was so confused and noticed he left out half sentences and words.. it was bad.
Ephraim- this narrator had a thicker accent, a bit harder to understand sometimes, but had good pacing. My issue with him was the amount he would slur words. Sounded like he just pounded a bottle of vodka then showed up to work. Another issue I had was when he would narrate women’s voices, I could not make out what he was saying, no matter the volume level, it was odd.
Overall, I recommend reading the book over this specific audiobook. If you have no other choice, or you only listen to books, then I’d still pick it up, but just know the performance won’t live up to the original trilogy.

Good but not as good as the others
Enjoyable but not as riveting as the other novels. Having said that I'll certainly read the next one.

audio is challenging
love the series but little things with the narration were challenging, mostly having to do with volume (constantly needing to turn up) and discontinuity with pronounciation of names... if youlisten all in a row, it is jarring when the names are not pronounced consistently.
