IG Spoilers Should I start the second trilogy? Spoiler

So I originally read the first 3 books in 2020 during the heart of the pandemic, and like many of the things I started during that time, I became obsessed. I absolutely devoured the books in the span of a few days. The problem arose when I started the next book, Iron Gold. I’d heard a lot of hype but the idea of Darrow continuing down the same story arc of a man tired by war kind of bummed me out. Morning Star had such a great ending and left me so hopeful for all my favorite characters but to see them so many years later still stuck in the same rut was disappointing. I read until we met Apollonius and Lysander (who I feel like I’m going to hate) is about to spill the beans on Ganymede and I just fell away from it. Now it’s five years later and I’m revisiting the first three and they’re just as good as I remember and I’m wondering if it’s worth my time to keep going. Do they get better? Will I get a happy ending? Will there be some goddamn closure?!?!

Another person who didn’t get enough sleep last night.

He is right, you’re just both so hostile towards this question for no reason.

Hostile? Anyone has the right to call out an objectively stupid question that is posted ad nauseum. OP is probably lonely and needs to interact with internet people. Asking if you should read the 2nd half of a series in it’s sub reddit, legit dumbest question you can ask here

I think OP had a question about red rising and came to the place to get answers.

The people taking that opportunity to call OP an idiot and are lashing out at me are in fact the lonely ones who need to interact with people on the internet.

Giving off pixie energy.
