I finished The Expanse awhile back and that was also fantastic!
A bit of personal advice for TWOT - the first time reading can be considered slow by some, but the opening acts are some of my favorites of all fantasy novels that I’ve read. There’s a certain charm that’s reminiscent of Tolkien, and has a certain depiction that’s speaks to me. But maybe it requires a second reading to really appreciate it.
Either way, happy reading!
Absolutely agreed about TGR’s amazing talent! He colored - no pun intended - the Red Rising books in such an immersive way, that I can’t imagine the characters and atmosphere as anything other than what his vocal descriptions provided.
And I’m not 100% certain, but I think he mentioned on one of the Red Rising podcasts that the last book should come within a few months of this one, because they were meant to be one final book, but the length didn’t allow his original plans. I certainly hope that’s true!
