But this guy, he's been part of the project for eight years and has become apparently really good friends with Pierce Brown for it and has loved the books.
RichardHOST

AustinHOST
connected to Paramount.

Janell RhiannonHOST
you Welcome back, Mermadons, to another episode of Greek Mythology Retold Podcast.
Janell RhiannonHOST
In this episode, I am merging my love of history, myth, and Pierce Brown.
Janell RhiannonHOST
If you've been with me for a minute, you know that my graduate work centered on Alexander the Great, and he was my gateway to the Iliad, Achilles, and basically all things Homer.
Janell RhiannonHOST
Even though I love all these ancient works, I do branch out from time to time into different realms and genres.
Janell RhiannonHOST
This was the first time in a long time that I was engrossed in a story the way that I was with the Iliad and the Odyssey.
Janell RhiannonHOST
I began annotating things that reminded me about Achilles, and that's when it dawned on me that Darrow was written from the same well of heroic idealism and complexity as Achilles.
Janell RhiannonHOST
Pierce Brown had hooked me like a trout.
Janell RhiannonHOST
So this episode is for you, Mr.
Dave MooreHOST
Yeah.
Tyler HollandHOST
And, and red, red rising is not, uh, the book Pierce Brown really wanted to write because he wrote, like, to my understanding, I could be wrong in my understanding of it, but, like, he wrote a version of Red Rising, shopped it around, but that was around the same time everybody was fanatical about Hunger Games.
Dave MooreHOST
Right.
Tyler HollandHOST
So they're like, if you want to publish it, it needs this kind of element, a Hunger Games element in it.
CDHOST
He's about halfway through golden sun, golden sun, which is probably the best book of that, of that trilogy.

what if I just made everyone's day worse at the same exact time? Luria finds herself in a very uncomfortable room with some very powerful people.

That path involves politics, loyalty, family, and at least one decision that will make you want to pause the audiobook and stare into the middle distance.

Basically, everyone is lying, everyone is planning something, and at least three people desperately need therapy.
