Red Rising	comment	Red Rising is a novel trilogy by Pierce Brown revolving around a society in the distant future in which humanity is divided into a color-coded caste system. Darrow is a Red, a 16 year old Helldiver laboring under the surface of Mars to make the world habitable for future generations.Then the day comes where he discovers that it is all a lie. Mars has been habitable for centuries, and the surface is inhabited by all colors in a brutal hierarchy built on the backs of the Reds. Darrow is given the opportunity to change things, altering his body to become a Gold. His goal: to infiltrate their Institute and carve himself a high place in the Society, putting himself in the best position possible to tear it all down.A handy chart of all the castes can be found on the book's website here.The trilogy consists of: Red Rising (2014) Golden Son (2015) Morning Star (2016)Spin-Offs: Red Rising: Sons of Ares (2017-2023), a Prequel detailing the origins of the titular resistance groups. The Iron Gold series (2018-present), a Sequel Series set ten years after the end of Morning Star exploring how the world has changed as a result of Darrow's actions in the trilogy.WARNING: Several of the following entries are spoilers for the entire series, not just the first book!

Happens at the Academy too, with the Sovereign giving Karnus an extra ship to surprise Darrow with in the last battle, causing his defeat.

The next tier of the pyramid are the Silvers (money managers), Whites (priesthood), and Coppers (bureaucrats). Beneath them are Oranges (mechanics), Yellows, (doctors), Greens (programmers), Blues (navigators), and Violets (artists). The fourth tier of the pyramid are the Grays (police), who are considered to be above the Browns (servants), Obsidians (brute force soldiers), and Pinks (sex workers). Reds (manual labor) form the base of the pyramid.

Red Rising / int_21d70919	comment	Crapsack World: A dystopia where other colors are subjugated by the Golds, with their characterizing trait being ruthlessness and ambition. Becomes even more so at the end of Golden Son, where anyone who could resist the Sovereign or the Golds is dead or captured. Made even worse by the fact that it appears to be alright on the surface, with mankind colonizing the solar system, a high-tech society and everyone divided into neat colours that give them job security at the very least. Then you realise that the LowColors are treated worse than dirt, the MidColors also live pretty terrible lives genetically locked into single roles where they're viewed as disposable tools, and the HighColours (besides Golds) aren't much better, chained to ceremony and desk jobs for life with no real authority. Even being born a Gold means a life of exhausting command, intense social pressure to perform and vicious political and physical warfare between families. And that's if you don't get an invitation to the Institute...

Which is why his enemies organize a betrayal while he is unarmed during his Triumph.

As the story expands, it becomes more and more clear that The Society does not practice this as much as they preach; an entire theme of Golden Son is how corrupt the system has become, with numerous flaws preventing the meritocracy the Golds idealize.

Later, when Mustang and Darrow team up, Tactus tries to undermine Darrow's power via Attempted Rape. Darrow defuses the situation by first whipping Tactus then taking a whipping himself to share responsibility for Tactus's actions. Morning Star features this as a major issue for the Rising, with Golds allied with Darrow being hunted by lower Colors, only being resolved by Sevro taking Darrow's unification tactics up to eleven by first hanging Cassius then hanging himself. The villains get this in Morning Star also, with the Jackal quietly making plans to overthrow the Sovereign and Octavia trying to stop him.

Red Rising / int_ea1fe5d3	type	Staking the Loved One
Red Rising / int_ea1fe5d3	comment	Staking the Loved One: Hanging is the primary method of execution, but on places with lower gravity—such as Mars or Luna—the drop isn't enough to snap the condemned's neck; unless someone pulls their legs to break it, they'll merely suffocate to death. Darrow was forced to do this for his father as a child, and then to Eo. Virginia does it to Adrius.

Sevro and the Howlers show up to break Darrow out of the Sovereign's tower on Luna in Golden Son. Fitchner dropping his cover and killing Karnus before Darrow can be executed near the end of the same book The Sons of Ares attacking Attica with claw drills to help Darrow escape in Morning Star.

Red Rising / int_eba6a077	type	Cain and Abel
Red Rising / int_eba6a077	comment	Cain and Abel: Jackal and Mustang are twins who share a talent for accomplishing their aims through trickery. However, while Jackal is a murderous sociopath, Mustang is a kind and caring Internal Reformist. Antonia and her (introduced in the second book) older sister, Victra also have this dynamic- Both are Ladies of War, but while Antonia is a Rich Bitch and shows signs of being a sociopath, Victra is a friendly Hard-Drinking Party Girl who shows an unusual amount of conscience/aversion to killing innocents for a Peerless Scarred. Victra notes that people who have met her sister tend to immediately dislike/distrust her. In the massacre of Darrow's allies at the end of the second book, Antonia personally murders Victra. The latter got better

Red Rising / int_f1d6144a	comment	War Is Hell: The Institute's war game can get insanely brutal. The point is partially to instill fear of losing power in the future leaders of The Society. Starving, freezing, and being tortured by the more violent students are all fair game. Only gets worse in Golden Son and Morning Star once real war breaks. Even Darrow and Sevro are horrified.
