Historia
The Reaper is a legend, more myth than man: the savior of worlds, the leader of the Rising, the breaker of chains. But the Reaper is also Darrow, born of the red soil of Mars: a husband, a father, a friend. The worlds once needed the Reaper. But now they need Darrow. Because after the dark age will come a new age: of light, of victory, of hope.

Hope!
This book has hope in it!
I thought it was all lost in Dark Age (appropriately named) but there is a growing glimmer in this one.
In my opinion this one is a massive improvement from the previous book. But I still like Morning Star more and even after this one I would say the first saga could be read alone and then one could avoid the second saga. But my very strong distaste of the second saga (as seen in my review of Dark Age) has been dampened by the brilliant character growths, villain arch and twists in this book. I came to love characters deeper than before and genuinely bought into the dream.
I particularly like the subtle comment made against the belief that some people are better or worse than others. I think one could walk away from the first saga saying that golds are lesser people, you could walk away from Dark Age saying that golds are superior (for a different reason) but this book felt like a great equaliser… a good comparison of all people showing the good and the bad in all.
Great book!

Historia
In Renovation of the Heart, best-selling author Dallas Willard calls it "the transformation of the spirit"- a divine process that "brings every element in our being, working from inside out, into harmony with the will of God or the kingdom of God." In the transformation of our spirits, we become apprentices of Jesus Christ.

3.5 stars - incredible topic and goals in an over-complicated package
Revisado: 03-16-25
Willard approaches the beautiful topic of “being transformed by the renewal of your mind” with this book.
In it he covers in detail the reasons for pursuing the transformation of the mind in Christ and the methods how to approach transformation of the mind in Christ.
However, I felt his approach could have been significantly simplified, rather than repeating points he could have made the points clearer the first time around. I think of comparing it to The Deeply Formed Life - Rich Villodas and the incredible Practicing the Way - John Mark Comer it comes of overly wordy and a little jumbled.
For those who enjoyed either of the other two books I mentioned, this does have insights that can build on the teachings found in those two.

The best Christian book on Sex and Sexuality I have read… and I have read a lot of them.
Revisado: 03-13-25
As a heterosexual Christian one may be turned away from a book that is written with the goal of addressing homosexuality through the Bible, but I think you would be missing out.
As a heterosexual male myself I have not found a book that more clearly, from the word of God, address what it looks like to honour God with our bodies and minds with the insightful deep dive into homosexuality.
Christopher does no skipping around the subjects hoping to avoid offending, at times he is very confrontational, he even goes as far as tearing apart gay-affirming arguments from Christian leaders in detail.
But despite this almost agressive approach the depth of his love for the LGBTQ community is evident and I found I was filled with more love for them as I read this book.
Christoper does not offer any ‘quick fixes’ or obnoxious false statements like “once you become a Christian you will stop being attracted to the same sex” he also doesn’t find excuses for sin or look for work arounds like cohabitation without intimacy. Rather he looks at scripture, his own experience as a same-sex-attracted person, and the church’s current approaches to the homosexual community and gives profound, clear and direct guidance and conviction to all people, homosexual people and heterosexual people.
If you can walk away from this book still standing on your tower of “I’m better because I’m a heterosexual” then you have not listened at all, I think this is his greatest feat in this book; swift and effective levelling of all people to ‘we are all sinners and need the forgiveness and grace of Jesus, no one has any ground to stand on, no one can say I am better than them.’

My least favorite of the saga thus far - still brilliant
Revisado: 03-01-25
I feel exhausted… every time I paused the book I felt drained, unlike the previous books there is little to no hope in this one. Death death death, I found myself nauseous at times as the book plunged headlong into what no longer felt like well metered carnage, it feels like the death, blood eagles, child killing, skewering of the living and all the other brutal details are no longer adding to the story rather it is to feed the author’s lust for blood.
I found myself skipping forwards on scenes as the book became more and more gruesome as it went on.
But for me that is not the most frustrating part, the way everything is constantly falling apart from the first chapter to the last one there is almost no success, no hope, no character improvement. Only building anger, growing chaos and greater disasters.
However, this is as masterfully written as the previous books and the character details and links between events are amazing.
At this point I would recommend one only reads the first 3 books, the 3rd one ends in a very satisfactory way and you will be spared much suffering and needless blood.
But now I need to finish the books because I cannot end on this note.

Historia
Ten years after the events of Morning Star, Darrow and the Rising are battling the remaining Gold loyalist forces and are closer than ever to abolishing the color-coded caste system of Society for good. But new foes will emerge from the shadows to threaten the imperfect victory Darrow and his friends have earned. Pierce Brown expands the size and scope of his impressive Red Rising universe with new characters, enemies, and conflicts among the stars.

A masterful shift.
Revisado: 02-05-25
10 years passed between the setting of the previous book and this one and the writing brilliantly reflects the maturity shift.
Gone is the triumph in violence, the prideful brashness. The characters are diversified, detailed and developing to a much deeper level than the previous books. While slower paced, the action is visceral and could be interpreted as a bit sadistic. But I rather see it as the characters beginning to see the horror of the violence in their lives so in that they begin to see it in more horrific detail. For many of them it feels like the moment of realisation of the issue before the choice to change.
Iron Gold is as good as the previous books, it in many ways feels like the mature older sibling, with more depth and thought but still made of the same stuff. It is going into my favourite fantasy/sci-fi novel folder.

Maxwell uses the Bible to justify his worship of vision (long rant below)
Revisado: 01-29-25
John Maxwell uses the Bible as backup for his own obsession with vision. No I’ll take it further, his WORSHIP OF VISION. Sure, there are some good quotes and stuff that might get you off the couch, but this book isn't going to turn you towards God. Maxwell keeps saying he's going to talk about God and what God says, but really, it's mostly his own opinions on how to live, and honestly, a lot of it feels totally different from how Jesus lived.
Take Chapter 9, for example. He's going on about these "great men" – and yeah, they were great in some ways – and he says their secret sauce was dedication to their vision and sharing the gospel. He even quotes one guy saying something about finding a place to evangelize because that's the best heaven he can imagine. Ouch. It's like he's idolizing doing stuff for God, not God himself. (Seriously, C.S. Lewis nails this in The Great Divorce – go read it).
That's the heart of my problem with this book. It feels like Maxwell is kneeling at Jesus' feet, but facing the wrong way, worshipping this little idol called Vision.
And oh my gosh, the cheesy quotes! "We all hear about vitamin B and C, but the best vitamin is vitamin V – the vision vitamin! When people take vitamin V, they're revitalized, age is no issue because they have a goal, a dream, a vision!" Agh!
The crazy thing is, Jesus has clearly used Maxwell despite these massive misinterpretations. Talk about grace! It's amazing how God can use even people who are so off the mark.
But, and this is a big but, I'm worried. I used to be all about vision and progress instead of Jesus, and I'm scared this book will just create more vision-worshippers who are missing the point. He keeps saying a vision will solve all your problems, not Jesus.
Maxwell's keeps on saying biblical characters "saw their goal and went for it." Where is he getting this? He's completely missing the point. It's because they were looking at God, they where obeying God, often without having any idea of where God was leading them, that’s why the amazing things happened, not because they caught the vision, were so inspired by it and decided to dedicate their lives to it. John wasn’t inspired by the vision of the new world Jesus was building, he wanted to love the Lord by doing what Jesus wanted him to do, and so he blindly followed wherever he was directed! Moses didn't free the Jews because he had this goal in mind (as Maxwell seems to think). God called him through a burning bush! God led him painful step by painful step! Moses was a mess, a stuttering, scared guy who would have not even started if God hadn’t pushed him – Moses was not the picture of purpose driven, vision inspired power Maxwell paints.
Jesus uses the weak to humble the strong, He doesn’t call the powerful people who are inspired by their own visions. In fact I would argue that a key step in learning to follow Jesus is giving up your vision, saying Lord these are the things I desire, of gaining them will bring you glory then grant them to me, if they are not according to your will then I will gladly give them up. Sure, Maxwell throws in a line or two about the vision maybe coming from God, but it's easy to miss in all the "what do you want?" and "fix your eyes on your goal" stuff.
This is one of the most dangerous books I’ve read, if you want garbage self help books go read Eckhardt Tolle, he at least won’t make you think that you’re worshiping God when it’s actually vision you’re worshipping.

Revisado: 01-23-25
The book of Romans is one of the most powerful bookes in the Bible, and 8-16 is possibly the most powerful half of the book. Keller’s breakdown of the book chapter by chapter was so impactful for me. In fact I am starting Romans 1-7 For You again in a couple days to read Romans alongside Keller’s breakdown of it and then I’ll read this book again after that.
Please read this book if you want to understand God more, there is value in reading this even if you are not a Christian.

Perhaps listening to books just because they are part of my Audible subscription is not a good idea.
Revisado: 01-16-25
I think this book will age badly for me. Not only does it tell a story of almost constant success but I can’t recall a single twist, surprise or really emotive character. Good grief, I just finished it and I can’t even remember the name of the supporting characters.
On top of that all the characters seem to always be sneering, the romance is awkward and I honestly couldn’t care if any of the characters died.
But the story has so much potential! And I think that’s the only reason it has so many positive reviews. Sadly I think it’s so deep in the world of fantasy that even the characters are unrealistic and I failed to find any ability to relate to them.
I love a good fantasy novel, but I can’t stand a book where the protagonist always ‘levels up’ every time they face a challenge.
Also if you’re listening to it the female reader is really good and the male reader has a nice voice…. But his breathing is painful, he gasps between sentences…
Go read something else.

The title is so perfect, I feel like Keller wrote this for me.

I have read Romans 1-7 many times. One time we read it as a church so slowly that it took us a year to do the book of Romans (studying it every week). But I got something different from Tim Keller’s analysis, an overview and focus on who God is, and incidentally how I have viewed Him incorrectly.
I will be returning to this in paper form to study.
