I would love to be here relaying the news that Red God has a release date, but that’s not the case. The next Red Rising book is still being written, according to Pierce Brown, but that doesn’t mean Howlers are left with nothing new to dive into from the world of Red Rising. Pierce Brown recently announced a new story, called The Book of Lorn, which is being released in installments, digitally, to those who subscribe to the Shit Escalates Patreon.

Red God Still Doesn’t Have A Release Date, But After Hearing Pierce Brown Talk About It, I’m Pretty Ok With That
When it comes to the release of Red God, I’m a little bit torn. On one hand, if I had the opportunity to have the finished version of Pierce Brown’s planned final book in the Red Rising series in front of my eyes right now, I’d be elated. And yet, there’s a part of me that’s sort of happy to wait, not just because the anticipation for Red God is bloodydamn glorious (especially after the greatness that was Light Bringer), or because this era of being a Howler will only last as long as it takes for the book to hit shelves, but also because hearing Pierce Brown talk about writing the book and getting it right is making me feel really ok with being patient.

Light Bringer came out last summer, which was months and months ago, so we’ve surely had plenty of time to recover from the events of the sixth Red Rising book… right? Ok, fine, I’m still not recovered, but that doesn’t make me any less excited for Book 7. But when is Red God‘s release date? While we don’t have the answer to that, Pierce Brown did offer up an update on the status of Red Rising Book 7 on his Instagram stories this week.
Continue readingSome (Spoiler-free) Thoughts About Light Bringer
In the process of gathering and organizing my thoughts and many feelings about Light Bringer, I’ve decided to divide them between spoilers and non-spoilers. This is the non-spoiler post. And when I say non-spoiler, I mean no specific details about what happens in the book. But I am going to be talking about general impressions, so if that’s more than you want to know about the book before you read it, now’s your chance to back out!
Continue readingOne Month To Go Until Light Bringer’s Release
It’s June 25th, and that means we’re officially one month away from the arrival of Light Bringer, the sixth — but not the final — book in the Red Rising saga, releasing on July 25, 2023. Now seems like a good time to do a roundup of the Light Bringer events that I’ve seen coming up. As many Howlers likely know, there are some prime things happening or in the works, leading up to and in the days following the release of Pierce Brown’s new book. So let’s get to it!
Continue readingPierce Brown’s Red Rising: Sons Of Ares Vol. 3 Forbidden Song Graphic Novel Releases This Year
To say that my to-be-read list for 2023 is looking both exciting and a bit daunting would be an understatement, especially when I factor in my goal to reread all five Red Rising books before Book 6 — titled Light Bringer — makes its grand arrival later in the year. And now it looks like I’ll need to add a reread of the first two Sons of Ares graphic novels to my TBR list as well, as Volume 3 is expected to arrive this year.
Happy New Year, Howlers! We certainly have som exciting things to look forward to in 2023!
Continue readingRed Rising Book 6 – Light Bringer Gets A New Release Date And A Cover Reveal
This week, Pierce Brown revealed the cover for Light Bringer (Red Rising Book 6). Alas, with that bit of good news, the less good news is that we’ll be waiting just a bit longer for Light Bringer to hit shelves in 2023. It is still expected to arrive next year, but rather than the original May 2023 release date, the sixth novel in the Red Rising series will be arriving on July 25th.
Continue readingRed Rising Book 6 Title Revealed And Book 7 Announced
Well, there’s good news and even more good news, Howlers! As expected, Pierce Brown delivered a big announcement today. When he teased some upcoming news, I hoped it might involve the title and maybe some information about when Book 6 might be coming, and sure enough, it did. But this news also apparently involves a seventh book. Yes, Red Rising Book 7! Not only does Book 6 have an official title (and is expected to arrive May 2023), but according to Pierce Brown’s announcement, Book 7 is also on the way. So let’s get to the details:
