About the author

Pierce Brown

60 books55.6k followers
Hello. I'm Pierce Brown, the author of the Red Rising Saga, a NYT #1 bestseller.
I figured I'd write you myself than have corporate copy pasted below my totally natural author photo.

In my books you'll find stories of men and women finding their inner strength when all seems lost. You'll also find me exploring themes of love, violence, hope, and power--what it means, why people seek it, and how they hold onto it.

6/8/2023 - This review did not age well :(

WARNING: DO NOT SCROLL DOWN!! Someone spoiled the ending of the previous book (Light Bringer)

If this ends "happily", I will be disappointed. If it ends sad, I will be sad. Best of luck to the author... 🫡🫡

This book is going to hurt my feelings. I can already tell.

That said, I have a theory!

SPOILER FROM LIGHT BRINGER AHEAD!!

Cicero is definitely working for the Republic, right? At the very least, he's not on Lysander's side. In the battle of Phobos, that man did everything wrong and was one of the reasons Victra got through the lines. He also conveniently didn't get a green to open the door Mustang was hiding behind. Also, that unknown cloaked person that helped kill Ajax?? That was definitely not Thraxa. I'm willing to bet it was Cicero.

Another theory, adding to that. Maybe Cicero isn't Cicero? We've seen multiple people get carved. Darrow and Virginia definitely had back up plans for back up plans. Screwface probably wasn't the only one to go undercover. Maybe it's not Cicero, but I definitely feel like some other carved person is still under cover somewhere.

Also, this isn't a theory, just a question. Are Screwface, Pebble, and Clown ever going to get names? We have entire family histories for random background characters and these OGs can't get names!

➤I have committed the cardinal sin of a book lover:I haven't started this series. The release of the final book feels like a divine sign to finally correct this mistake.

Does anyone want to put me in a medically-induced coma until this releases?

This is a bit delayed as I watched the panel when Pierce announced this and then promptly freaked out (and forgot to update Goodreads). But anyways --

RED GOD?!

RED GOD?!?!

RED GOD?!?!?!?

Man, what a great title.

Sigh. Remember when people were actually supposed to READ THE BOOK in order to review it? 60 5-star ratings and 10 “reviews” for a book that hasn’t been released yet.

Goodreads: it’s a simple code fix to stop this BS.

See you in 2024 . Because if my man dies in the 7th book I will be digging up my own grave

Don’t play with my feelings MR brown 😭😭😭😭😭😡

If you need to kill a character, I will kindly volunteer to be killed instead of any of them. Warning don’t you dare kill Cassius🫣 don’t even think about doing it !!. I will volunteer to be stab in his behalf. That’s my baby my sunshine 💙💙. Cassius gives me light 💡 for salvation. MR brown I hope you understand that killing him you will be making a very strong choice and deadly too 😭😭😭. Take my feelings into consideration and don’t kill him please. He deserves the world behind what you have provided him, he deserves happiness my heart. Cassius is my first love so you gotta protect him for me and probably the last one, until death do us a part.

I am simp for Cassius 💙💙. Red god = Cassius 💙🌙

see you in 2024 MR brown I know that you won’t disappoint us. I don’t think that the word disappointment is in your vocabulary anyway but take care of Cassius for me in the meantime 💙💙.

No, because I know everyone is excited and all, but do you have any idea what a 7th book means?! That means literally everyone is going to die I can feel it. Anyways, I'm going to be crying and screaming until May when I can get my hands on a copy of Lightbringer, until then no one will be hearing from me I'm so serious.

See ya'll on the other side
