In this episode we talk about the things we’ve been geeking out on for the past few months and then play a cruel, cruel game of Spoiler Trivia.  Ryan has to answer trivia questions and for every one he misses the questioner gets to reveal a spoiler about Batman v.

The One Flaw In Morning Star And How I Would Have Fixed It

Morning Star was an amazing conclusion to the epic Red Rising series.  And while there are parts I liked more and didn’t like as much as previous books, I still gave it a perfect score in the end.  Because books can have flaws and still deliver an amazing story.  But there is one part of Morning Star that really stuck with me as being a mistake and I can only discuss it while spoiling some things.  So this is your warning.  [WARNING: AFTER THE BREAK WE’VE GOT SOME MAJOR MORNING STAR SPOILERS SO GO READ THE BOOK ALREADY AND THEN COME BACK.]

Want To Read The First Three Chapters of Morning Star (Red Rising Book 3)? You Can…With A Catch

Morning Star will be published in February, 2016 but if you’re longing for a fix and want to read the first three chapters then author Pierce Brown will let you.  Provided that Golden Son wins the Goodreads Best Science Fiction award for 2015.  Pierce posted the tempting offer–a win for chapter leaks–on his Facebook page today and you have until November 23 to cast your vote.  If you already voted in earlier rounds those votes don’t count so head over to Goodreads immediately, cast your vote, and get everyone else to vote for it as well.  Because February is a lifetime and a Star Wars movie away.

Morning Star Set To Conclude Red Rising Series In February 2016

Pierce Brown took to social media on Tuesday to show a picture of the completed manuscript for Morning Star, the conclusion to the epic Red Rising science fiction series.  He also revealed that the book will be released in February–a bittersweet announcement since the book was originally delayed to spring 2016 but then moved back to January.  This slight delay is still better than the original gap, we’re just all excited to read the conclusion to the series that hasn’t disappointed.  There’s still time for you to read Red Rising and Golden Son to catch up so start now!  Oh and he’s also coming to Austin and a few other cities for a book tour in February 2016 so expect our own Jenny to add him to the #jenny30 ask some questions about one of our favorite book series soon!
