As long as the GOT guys aren't involved, anyway.

Why is that? They did a great job when they had novels to work from.

Why? Even if you think that last seasons or the ending sucked, the rest was incredible. I would argue they created some of the best television episodes of all time!

Who did The Expanse? Because I thought they nailed it.

Has anyone read this novel? I have and I've fallen into it. I can't stop thinking about it. The world building the author, Pierce Brown, has done is incredible.

I'm currently on the sequel Golden Son and so far it's even better than Red Rising. I just can't put it down.

The novel is about a guy named Darrow who is basically a mining slave on Mars. He's living in a Spartan type society and is at the very bottom. Some bad stuff happens and he ends up being executed. But end the end, he survives and is given the chance to change himself so he can infiltrate the higher parts of society and exact his revenge.

Just started Red Rising. We'll see how it goes.

Assuming the series is fully written, they would be great. They only failed once there was no written source material to adapt

My advice is take a short break, then get through book 4. After that, it gets crazy good. Book 4 is really good, but is a set up for what is coming. Nothing like those middle of the series Wheel of Time slogs.

I can't wait for the last book. Certain characters require reaping.

Love red rising (have only red the first trilogy and need to finish the rest). May just read it all from the beginning bc it's been a while. Didn't realize they were making a show. It willl be epic if done right.

Book 4 and 5 are just darker in general and a little rougher to get through. Book 6 was more of a return to form but definitely a rough death in that to stomach as well.

I don't think a TV series is currently in the works.

That's what people were discussing on the previous page. Seems like it is in the works but not many details are out. Unless I'm misreading what was being discussed on the previous page.

so i take it I should try and start this first book again.... for whatever reason I couldn't hop on board with the drillers/classes/descriptions at the start of Red Rising and lost interest really fast; perhaps I didn't give it a hard enough try!

Ummm...yes, would highly recommend you restarting from the beginning. There is a lot to the RR universe, but the notion of colors/classes is fundamental. That said, the series is absolutely awesome (IMO) and is worth persevering through the foundation-laying portions.

The first book IMO is hands down the worst book of the entire series.
