Rereading the Red Rising series this was a lot of fun to read in a prequel fill in the blanks sort of way.

It's really great to see Fitchner in action. Dude was brutal and he did whatever he had to do to get things done. What's most fun of reading this is how similar he is to Darrow, but lacks the "strength" darrow head in force but he's just as cunning if not more. So he uses his brains to get what he wants, and pushes him forward to meet his old friend once more. The one who cut down and killed his wife from the previous books.

Overall, really good stuff. I can't say I love the art. I think the art gives a good look to the overall world but the faces and action lack anything worth mentioning. Though I'll say baby Goblin is adorbs. But overall it's still worth reading for Red Rising fans. I liked this one even more than the previous volume. Red rising fans check it out.
