Nothing wrong with audiobooks! It's my preferred way to consume my books. Also if I didn't listen to audiobooks, then I would never have experienced TGR's glorious performance in the Red Rising series. I don't think audiobooks are better for every book, but in the case of Red Rising, I would argue it's mandatory.

I just finished Lightbringer myself and I absolutely loved it. I'm equally devastated knowing how long it'll be before we get the next one!

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!
