Status Updates From Pierce Brown's Red Rising: ...

We even got some sister time but just not nearly enough for the knife to twist. I do miss the author’s writing style but I understand the limitations in this medium. I’d say its not necessary at all, but a quick enjoyable read you can knock out in 30 min to any die-hard fans

What we got was a brief intro to Fitchner who deserves a long graphic novel if we’re doing THE father of Sevro. He’s a bastard and I wanted to see that in full. Also, I wanted more than a whisper of Quicksilver. The heartbreak was still there because the groundwork was laid in the trilogy, I was just happy to finally meet Bryn

Overall, a great supplement to the original trilogy but its short length lost a lot of the traits that made the saga so great. Art style was actually cool and seemed ominous, but many scenes felt completely rushed or brushed over and I guess I thought we were getting a “what were the Sons up to before we meet them” type of situation
