You won’t want to miss this episode!   🤍 CTB Links!: https://linktr.ee/checkthisbookout Book Synopsis: "Darrow would have lived in peace, but his enemies brought him war. The Gold overlords demanded his obedience, hanged his wife, and enslaved his people. But Darrow is determined to fight back. Risking everything to transform himself and breach Gold society, Darrow has battled to survive the cutthroat rivalries that breed Society’s mightiest warriors, climbed the ranks, and waited patiently to unleash the revolution that will tear the hierarchy apart from within. Finally, the time has come. But devotion to honor and hunger for vengeance run deep on both sides. Darrow and his comrades-in-arms face powerful enemies without scruple or mercy. Among them are some Darrow once considered friends. To win, Darrow will need to inspire those shackled in darkness to break their chains, unmake the world their cruel masters have built, and claim a destiny too long denied—and too glorious to surrender." 📖 Books Mentioned: Morning Star - Pierce Brown Red Rising - Pierce Brown Golden Son - Pierce Brown Light Bringer - Pierce Brown ⏱️Timestamps: 00:00 intro 01:00 meet nolan! 04:45 nolan's fav book bf... 06:00 morning star ratings 08:20 the boring parts 10:50 our book review formula 11:25 world building 12:20 space is confusing 16:30 darrow's imprisonment 18:40 where was the trauma? 20:30 the rescue 22:02 bring the action 25:35 fake first person 27:10 reunited with sevro 32:00 book 2 was darrow's book 39:30 howler initiation 36:20 we got spoilers 37:50 quicksilver & phobos 45:30 a visit to the obsidians 48:00 ragnar broke us 51:20 choppy writing 54:00 the political genius 57:45 full body chills 58:50 darrow's growth 01:01:40 the roque space battle 01:05:40 roque broke us 01:09:40 cassius & darrow 01:12:30 and what do we do w/ murderers? 01:15:20 we're gullible readers 01:19:00 the ending & baby pax 01:28:55 sevro and victra ahhh 01:30:30 sevro is too funny 01:32:00 outro
