My Take
What strikes me most about Pierce Brown is how he smuggled genuine moral complexity into what could have been a straightforward revenge epic. Red Rising starts as dystopian adventure, but by Morning Star and especially the later books, he is interrogating the cost of revolution with a seriousness most literary novelists would envy. I admire that he refuses to let his hero off the hook; Darrow's victories always carry a bill that comes due. Brown started this saga in his mid-twenties, which still astonishes me. If he sticks the landing on the final volume, I think the series will be remembered as one of the defining space operas of its generation.
