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.

Recording was not as good as previous books.

The story is excellent. Brown has hit his stride by now, and his writing is top notch.
The recording is a problem for me. TGR is an amazing reader. We have heard it in the previous books. This one sounded off though. Like he was an AM talk host speaking into a tin can. This likely falls on the studio and their mixing.
In addition, the previous two books used different readers for different perspectives. Moving away from this was a mistake. Specifically when the story is transferring between Darrow and Lysander, it is hard to distinguish who you are following.

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.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 377
Darrow is a Red, a member of the lowest caste in the color-coded society of the future. Like his fellow Reds, he works all day, believing that he and his people are making the surface of Mars livable for future generations. Yet he toils willingly, trusting that his blood and sweat will one day result in a better world for his children. But Darrow and his kind have been betrayed. Soon he discovers that humanity reached the surface generations ago. Vast cities and lush wilds spread across the planet. Darrow—and Reds like him—are nothing more than slaves to a decadent ruling class.

I like the original better

I have enjoyed the graphic audio version of Red Rising. That said, I prefer the original. The graphic audio can be distracting at time. Sometimes the music doesn’t quite fit the mood. I think this is a good enhancement for those of us who have listened to the original a few times and want to change it up. If this is your first listen, go for the regular version
