Hello Everyone!

What are you all reading?

I am currently going through a re-read of Dresden Files by Jim Butcher. Currently on 2nd book, Fool Moon.

    Have you read the previous Red Rising series? And what didn’t you like about Iron Gold?

      I have, and I really enjoyed them. I have to talk about a major event in the story, so for those who haven’t read and want to collapse this comment, this is your spoiler warning. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . SPOILERS BELOW

      This is a little vague since it’s been awhile.

      I got really upset when Darrow was going totalitarian and fighting with his wife (can’t remember her name) and wanted to eradicate the last of the gold resistance to the new order they had established. When they had the fight amongst themselves and Darrow killed one of his friends (also can’t remember his name) and then fled, that was just really hard for me to take in.

      Objectively it makes sense that it happened. It just really hit me hard. Maybe because of this political climate we’re living in. At the time, I just couldn’t finish it. I want to, but I don’t know if I’m in the right headspace to be able to.
