This adventure will be a deep dive. Dive, dive, rig for deep submergence.
Into the world of Red Rising. I am Chris Powers, a low-ranking gray, ready to betray my vows, attack a dominus, and leave my family orphaned from my insolence. And by my side is a man who has taken every gift I have ever bought him and sold it for drug money. David Powers. Don't forget the pinks. It's ones at the ready and it is a swish and flick on that subscribe button and that like button. A swish and flick. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it and those who don't subscribe to this channel will never get to watch these videos. Please subscribe.
Today, we will be talking about chapters one through six of Golden Sun, book two in the Red Rising series. However, we have read this entire series, we have read this book Golden Sun many times, so there will be some spoilers here and there. So if you would like to venture further, do so with the knowledge that you may hear things that you wish you hadn't. And now.
We begin. And Daniel, I would actually like to uh before you take us into chapter one, book one, I would e I would like to uh say one thing about the prologue if you want to call it. Okay. Uh, it is cool when you pick up a second book in a series because you really have no idea Where we're gonna or a TV show, where you're gonna start, right? Like for sure. Where are we? Has time passed? Yeah, exactly. Where what's going on? And it's cool how in this that fur it's like on the Kindle, it's like one page, so I don't even know what it is in print, but it's you you are right where we left off. Oh yeah. Like right there. Augustus is waxing poetic. How the Bolognas don't forgive or forget, but n but Nero protects what's his, and Darrow's like, I do all those things too.
I don't forgive, I don't forgive. Forget I am I protect the voice of my people, blah, blah, blah. But I love that closing line, especially for me, where it goes. But then his daughter takes my hand and I feel all the lies fall heavy on my shoulders. They say a kingdom divided against itself cannot stand. They made no mention of the heart. And it's just an interesting way to end the prologue from a book that often is like, oh, this is the most aggro dude bro book ever. And I'm like, Rose in love. Rose in love, dude. And don't you fucking forget it. And that line being the last line of the prologue, I actually really think speak. speaks to that where he's like, dude, this is not just a war book, you know?
It's also just an example of how great the writing is, the dynamics of what's going on here, the fact that he's pledged fealty to narrow. We'll get into it. It's unbelievable. But We have finished Red Rising. Darrow has defied the Proctors and won the Institute, a step closer to rising to the ranks where real change can fall on the galaxies and its colors. Darrow has pledged fealty to House Augustus to a man who killed his wife and whose daughter now has his heart. The blood feud with the Bologna's extends from House Augustus to Darrow himself. Which gets us to part one, Bow and Chapter One. Warlords. Hic Sunt Leones. The words of our master, Nero Augustus, Archgovernor of Mars, thirteenth of his name, my warlords echo the phrase, Here be Lions.
We're
in it.
One of the great
phrases you will ever hear. It's been two years since winning at the Institute, and now Darrow stands bruised and bloodied on a starship he commands. Now a lancer of House Augustus. He has not seen Mustang in years since saying goodbye to her with a kiss and parting gift of a ring and a razor. Darrow has not heard from the sons of Ares either, even after being told by Dancer they would contact him. Darrow is now in the academy, now commanding fleets of warships in games meant to test the fluency of their military minds.
