Dark Age (Red Rising Book 5) - Pierce Brown - Episode 128

from Buddy Book Club · host Buddy Book Club

The Buddies are back to continue their "summer saga series" (say that 10 times fast) with Pierce Brown's "Dark Age," the fifth book in the Red Rising universe and second in the Iron Gold trilogy. This new trilogy is basically Game of Thrones in space, but with more creative ways to die. The Buddies got to discussing summer camps, habituation, the Black Knight from Mondy Python, and how this book made the battle of Helm’s deep blush. That and much more. So grab your anti-radiation meds, practice your habituation techniques (you'll need them), and join the Buddies as they navigate a book where Mercury finally gets some respect and literally everyone you like probably dies! Intro/Book Summary (0:00-4:29)Stock Up/Down (4:30-44:23)Favorite Scene/Character (44:24-50:23)Love/Hate (50:24-58:59)Conclusion (59:00-1:02:02) NEXT BOOK: Light Bringer (Red Rising Book 6) by Pierce Brown
