Summary
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Pierce Brown’s relentlessly entertaining debut channels the excitement of The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins and Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card.
“Red Rising ascends above a crowded dystopian field.”—USA Today
Adapted from the novel and produced with a full cast of actors, immersive sound effects and cinematic music!
“I live for the dream that my children will be born free,” she says. “That they will be what they like. That they will own the land their father gave them.”
“I live for you,” I say sadly.
Eo kisses my cheek. “Then you must live for more.”
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.
Inspired by a longing for justice, and driven by the memory of lost love, Darrow sacrifices everything to infiltrate the legendary Institute, a proving ground for the dominant Gold caste, where the next generation of humanity’s overlords struggle for power. He will be forced to compete for his life and the very future of civilization against the best and most brutal of Society’s ruling class. There, he will stop at nothing to bring down his enemies... even if it means he has to become one of them to do so.

Reliving the excitement of Red Rising again
This is my favourite series of all time and I was super excited to see graphic audio bring it to life. Overall the performance was extremely enjoyable, I think every fan of the series should have a listen. In my opinion it just highlights how amazing these books would be in a cinema format, at times I felt like I was in the same room as the characters and could picture the scenes so clearly.
The voice actor for Darrow did a phenomenal job, the switch between his red and gold self was seamless, and as well as his interactions with the other characters. I also really enjoyed Mustang and Nero.
Some of the other reviews have highlighted the discrepancies with the accents which I do agree with, would have preferred Irish actors for some of the red characters as it really does distract from the performance, particularly Eo and Harmony. Another issue I found was some of the voice actors for characters like Cassius, Jackal and Fitchner sounded older than the characters actually are, it did throw me off at times, especially for Cassius. I would hope this could be changed for the next book. I wasn't the biggest fan of Roque either, he didn't quite sound as I imagined him but that may be down to personal preference.
But overall I had an amazing time listening to this, even though I've read the series about 3 times already, this stopped me in my tracks more than once. I genuinely am looking forward to Golden Son.

The best book I didn’t know I needed
This is a slam dunk, I hadn’t really heard of it and got a friends recommendation and thought what have I got to loose! I only gained Immensely, the world that is introduced is fantastically intricate and love the subtle differences to other hero figures in stories

Surprised by how good the Dramatised Version is
Book is a little predictable so far but really enjoying it. Everyone is comparing it to Spartacus and yeah Roman theme, slaves I get it, but it’s NOT Spartacus. Well worth a punt

Don’t skip past this!!
If you are a massive red rising fan and you have been wondering why there isn’t a film or series yet… then you can be a little happier right now! These 2 parts of red rising have been turned into a movie for your ears!
Amazing performance with added music and sounds. It really does allow you to use your imagination more and dive in deeper to the world of Red Rising!

An Excellent Retelling of One of My Favourites
I wasn't sure what I'd make of a cast narrating Red Rising. Tim Gérard Reynolds did such an outstanding job in the first audio book release.
I'm happy to say this was amazing. They captured each character perfectly. the music and sound effects add a new layer of detail that enhances the listening experience.
I've just downloaded part 2. Looking forward to getting started.

Not all voices created equal
The story is great if you haven't read it.
More than half the voice cast is very good but just a few stick out like sore thumbs. Wasn't a fan of Dancer or Fitchner, they were fine just a bit out of place. The Servo voice actor is horrendous , he does an ok job with his performance but the voice itself is a terrible fit for the character and some of the more colourful lines sound ridiculous. Nasally and the actors voice (or at least the voice he is putting on) sounds awful and took me out of the story everytime he spoke.
Generally I like the multiple voices , the sound effects, the added bits of background dialogue and the music. It's a nice experience.
What I don't like is the cost, let's be real the majority of people picking this up have either read/listened to the book already. Splitting it into a part one and part two is a big ask.

Red women accents are atrocious
Story is incredible but listening to character like harmony and eo became increasingly difficult due to instability to stick to an Irish accent. Sounded like a Hollywood actor doing an Irish accent based on how they think a leprechaun sounds
