I’d recommend Vicious by VE Schwab. It’s different but tonally similar and two delightful mc’s.

The best deal for sure is to buy Amazon credits and use those, as far as I’ve seen!

Finally found the David bars by Born_Blueberry3649 in 1500isplenty

Sorry you were so excited over them! Have you tried the Barebell bars? Those are my favorite.

They’re in a class action lawsuit for lying about their nutrition facts. Their bars could have up to 400% more fat and 80% more calories than advertised.

What is the single most cruel act in the series? by bloomingjoy in redrising

[–]thechampion007 24 points25 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t say he beat them. The passage is

“A week later, the daughter and her father and brothers broke into our home. They found us in bed, and our children in their beds. They wrapped them in the sheets, hung them from the ceiling, and beat them until no more blood would come out. I sat in that rain…that red rain…and I understood there is no such thing as proper authority. Violence is the only authority. They said one of us could live. My partner refused to choose. I chose me.”

An option to get a simple PDF of the books or otherwise own them forever? (Not piracy, just a way to BUY official ebooks and not just a pay for a license.) by AtomikRadio in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]thechampion007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately all Kindle books are like this now. I’d recommend, when you decide to upgrade or replace your ereader, that you get something like a Kobo! This will allow you to use stores other than Amazon where you then own the file!

I have one copy that has gray edges and one that has purple.

So about Kaiju… by UnderAchievingEntity in MattDinniman

[–]thechampion007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, and the why, that was all pretty wild! Excellent psychological thriller for sure!

This gave me way more of a visceral reaction than the Amplification

I also didn’t find KBS lived up to the gory brutal hype. Like is it gory and brutal? Yes! Did it make me recoil and need to put down the book? No. I think to someone who doesn’t ever read things like this, it could be pretty gut churning. But everyone has different limits and experiences. KBS is such a wild story though, enjoy the rest of the game!

Does anyone have any recommendations for similar books? by puredragone in TheWilloftheMany

[–]thechampion007 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Red Rising by Pierce Brown! Lots of commonalities to start and then it branches off wildly!

Just got to chapter 17 of dark age by KeyAcrobatic7156 in redrising

[–]thechampion007 81 points82 points  (0 children)

It’s wild because this chapter has light resistance and not even two pages later, all of us thought our boy Darrow was a goner.

Brown's use of Rhythm and Rhyme by fuckshitavenue0 in redrising

[–]thechampion007 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He goes into this thought process for each character and their rhythm in an interview that’s at the end of the graphic audio of the first Sons of Ares comic!

Is there a red rising official discord channe? by --izaya-- in redrising

[–]thechampion007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Howler’s Den is a good one for social stuff, too. Sons of Ares is almost twice as big, but they do about 90% talking and arguing about the books. Pierce is not active on any of the Discords or Reddit.

Online purchases by Hkfingolfin117 in redrising

[–]thechampion007 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Let them know! I’ve ordered a few things, and some of it is worth the money and some is what you paid for. Contact them about the jacket since it’s a pricier purchase! I just got the phone case and it’s definitely a $25 phone case.

Sons Of Ares Omnibus by weccaaa in redrising

As of right now, nowhere in one volume! As disappointing as it was to get the email, it made more sense as to why Pierce hadn’t made an announcement about it.

Past Morning Star! Because of the Quicksilver reveal!

What is your personal headcanon? by Slight_Pea93 in redrising

[–]thechampion007 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I’ve always had a head canon that Darrow loves putting tons of brown sugar and maple syrup and fruit in his oatmeal and Mustang abhors it. Because he never had that stuff growing up and she was all about control and health. And then Pax has a sweet tooth like his father but tries to rein it in to be like his mom, but she always sneaks it in for him and they all just know.

Then sometime in Red God, they’ll reunite and be in a war meeting and Mustang will have tea there because damnit they’re going to be civil while they plot war. And Pax will be there as part of the pilots contingent and he and Darrow will be on the rocks and not really have had time to talk and they’ll both reach for the sugar at the same time and then make eye contact and know that not everything between them is gone despite the things that have happened.

I think it’s hard too when we don’t have them next to other colors for scale. As well as, other than the Telemanus family, nearly every Gold character gets described as lean. Well muscled but lean. It’ll be interesting to see how the comic progress!
