The series is broken into two parts (so far). The first trilogy takes place over a few years and then the second trilogy starts a decade later. The first trilogy is easy to binge read as it is all from the perspective of Darrow. The second trilogy (starting on book 4) breaks up its chapters among several characters' perspectives. Each character has their own story arc that crisses and crosses with other characters you read about.
The wildest part to me in hindsight is how grand the scope of this story becomes. It begins as a novel about hierarchy and rebellion (fueled by love and loss). Society has spread over different planets and moons in our galaxy and has established a color-based society system where people of each color/society class have dedicated roles. Reds are miners, grays are law enforcement, other colors other professions. And above it all are golds. Golds rule everything and are genetically superior to every other color. Darrow, a red, is forced with the decision to rebel against the golds and infiltrate their ranks.
There's love, there's incredible violence, there's scheming, there's just a ton to absorb. But it's never overwhelming. Pierce Brown's writing style is like a movie injected straight into your head.
Enjoy these books early with your own imagination because I can certainly see them becoming a movie series or tv show. It's just a matter of time.
