Your New Roman Empire (in literary form)
8
items These books and series will quickly become your new Roman Empire (and many of them draw directly from Greco-Roman society). Hail Reaper, Hail Vis.
I’ve read this book at least 8 times. I first read this book back in 2016, and it’s like taking the hunger games and injecting steroids into it. Each book after gets a little better and a little bigger. All time favorite series!
Red Rising Book Series
If you thought Red Rising was good you’ll LOVE Golden Son. Pierce Brown is the master of adding a twist to his narrative, and the main character is impossible not to root for. Has one of the worst cliff hanger endings if you’ve gotta wait for the nex...
Golden Son (Red Rising Series) - Books
The perfect finale to Pierce Brown’s OG Red Rising trilogy. This man can do no wrong.

Dark Age (Red Rising Series) by Pierce Brown
The most recent and penultimate book in the Red Rising series. After a very bleak (but wonderful) Dark Age, this book brings some hope to this saga. This quickly became my favorite of the series. I absolutely cannot wait until Red God comes out.
Light Bringer (Red Rising Series) by Pierce Brown
I was put onto this book by people who liked Red Rising and recommended this. You’ve gotta be patient with the complexity of the concepts Islington presents in the beginning but once you really get into it you will love it. Male protagonist who is su...
The Will of the Many (Hierarchy, #1) by James Islington
This book is SO peak. I won’t spoil the ending of the first book, but this book splits into 3 different POVs, which I thought would be difficult to track, and masterfully crafts an epic story. Absolutely cannot wait for the next installment in the Hi...
The Strength of the Few (Hierarchy, #2) by James Islington
