    "Red Rising" by Pierce Brown - Part 2/2
    Jul 11 2025

    This week we discuss Parts 3 and 4 of Red Rising by Pierce Brown. We get into some pretty heavy stuff this episode, so content warning for rape, sexual assault, and general violence.

    Despite these subjects, we really enjoyed this book and its blunt look at political and social power.
