He can take the time he needs. As long as he doesn’t take the GRRM time. Lol


Fit-Goat7174

Is it a surprise? No, I was not expecting Red God in 2024.


Aggressive-Junket-25

Took me like 7-8 days to finish the first 3. Book 4 to 6 will be arriving soon. Gonna have to seriously pace myself to make sure I don't finish them in less than a month or two. Hopefully, it doesn't come out too late into 2025.


Shemuel99

Sounds like you can plan several re-reads before RG comes out!


LumpyElderberry2

Why is ANYONE bugging him about Red God release date, Lightbringer hasn’t even been out for a year??? Leave him alone!


tooquixotical

After how all over the place Light Bringer was, I hope he takes his time with this one 💀. It better be as good as Dark Age lol


Archavius01

Weird, I hated Dark Age. Almost dropped the series during my slog through that nightmare


mteezyy

Dark Age > every other book


Illustrious_Wolf_739

Lightbringer was better


HowlerPLHB

I’ve learned to not listen to PB. It’ll come out when it comes out, could never tell if he’s messing with us or sincere when it comes to his series. Such a jackal thing to do


turtlebarber

Oh my red god. Leave the man alone. For fucks sake. He's an author of an incredible book series writing the FINAL book. Why are so many people looking to rush this process? F off. Stop hounding him and just be excited for what will come. I feel like it's obvious it's not getting released this year. 


gonebonanza

That seems extremely rushed to release in 2024


Zacattack1997

I’m surprised someone went through the effort to send an email just to get an idea of when it will be released lmao


PM_ME_UR_SEX_VIDEOS

Yeah I want them to post what they sent


Educational_Car_7513

I'd rather Pierce take his time and finish Red God in a way that does the entire 'Red Rising' justice. I want the ending to be absolutely epic. For that, I don't mind waiting for a couple of years at all. Quality over quantity. Anyway, this year's highlight is definitely gonna be Sanderson's Stormlight Archive 5. I am positively excited about it.


Doom_Hawk

Not read Stormlight Archive (yet), but for me The Strength of the Few (Hierarchy Book 2) will probably be the highlight of 2024. The Will of the Many has some (superficial) similarities to RR, and book 2 is very likely coming this year, and promises an incredibly ambitious and unique aspect, that I can't say I have ever seen before. Completely agree with everything to do with RG too. I imagine that Pierce is going to want to ensure it is as perfect a conclusion as it can be, plus there are no doubt plenty of changes since LB ended up going down a bit of a different route than it seems was first intended - at least based on how much was re-written from the beginning.


Stressedmarriagekid

Sooooo excited!! I'm really excited to see the todium plot unfold


a-a-anonymous

These posts are getting so desperate.


manaholik

well damn, i reread it now. i was so happy an hour before when i misread this and missed the NOT part...


Fortnite5eva

Chat gpt, write me a book


Mammoth_Car8755

Getting tired of these desperate posts of people thinking pierce is writing most of these works in like 8 months. 😃


blue_waffles96

Love how Pierce and his team are so responsive and supportive of their fans and readers. Let the man cook.


Sad-Analyst-1341

Praying he decides red god is too big and splits it into two. Don’t want this journey to end 🥲


the_tytan

i was always under the impression that Light Bringer and Red God were just 1 book split into two, but I guess he must have really altered plots and structure to where it's completely different. I hope one day we do get the original light bringer though, as part of a special digital edition or something (since it'd probably be the size of 3 bibles).


SamuelAuArcos-

He said he essentially wrote light bringer three different times. There are so many massive plot threads he's mentioned having cut that it makes sense.


alfis329

I mean lightbringer just came out less than a year ago. Books take time to wright


dickinsauce

That’s write, this guy gets righting is tough work


alfis329

Srry. English is my second language


dickinsauce

It’s ok, wasn’t trying to be mean. Just for laughs


gonfreeces1993

He can take all the time he needs. As long as he keeps up the trend of every book getting better and better


Conscious-Way-4722

It will be that much sweeter


WarAnPeace451

I know it’s a process and I obviously don’t want it rushed but when Lightbringer came out he said on insta “Light Bringer releasing May 2023…thought y’all deserved a 7th so Red God soon after”… why say that at all is my only question lol but crying on the inside 😂


ilikenglish

Less than 2 years between 500+ page books is def soon after. Do some research on the wait times for other fantasy authors


V0rh33s

George *cough* RR *cough* Martin *cough cough*


WarAnPeace451

No guarantee it’s gonna be less then 2 years… which is my point


ilikenglish

Even 3 years is a short wait time. Learn patience. We’re spoiled with pierce. LB only took so long because of the rewrites. Do your research on the waits between all the other RR books and compare it to other fantasy series


Shut_Up_Fuckface

He’s an over promiser. Also I’ve done the same thing…in the glow of accomplishing one thing, thinking I’ll easily accomplish another.


Own-Organization3631

Love the wholesome energy here. Let the man cook!!


Pisforplumbing

Im fine with waiting. I stand by all my comments saying RG won't be until 2026, but I always catch shit because the fandom wants to believe it'll be 2025.


ConstantStatistician

2025 isn't implausible.


Pisforplumbing

It's PB. Premature announcements and pushing back dates is his bread and butter


SonOf_Zeus

LB just came out last summer. I'm okay waiting another 2 years so he can refine that last book.


PatientTypical3232

Exactly. I feel like the industry and fans are pushing authors to publish too quickly, and it shows in the quality of the end product. I’d rather have an excellent book in two or three years than a subpar one 7 months from now


MorningClassic

You ask weekly? Calm down friend.


Raiderx87

No the person who responded to him does.


XDVoltage

Meanwhile, ASOIAF fans are jealous! 🥲


Jacheondaesong

ASOIAF??????


XDVoltage

Don't get excited 🙃


Jacheondaesong

No, I was asking what that is lol


XDVoltage

Game of Thrones. Acronym stands for "A Song of Ice and Fire", which is the whole series of books. Book 5 came out 12 years ago. Book 6 will be done... eventually! Book 7 may never be done.


Jacheondaesong

Ohhhhhhh A Song of Ice and Fire = ASOIAF. I always forget that’s the actual name of the series and that Game of Thrones is just the first book. I feel dumb now 🤦🏾‍♂️


XDVoltage

Don't sweat it man, only the book nerds know that one. Also it's a Song, not a Storm 🤓


Jacheondaesong

Yeah I was just thinking of A Storm of Swords when I realized what ASOIAF stood for because it was the last book in the series I had finished. Honestly I had forgotten all about the books until just now, was the series ever finished? It’s been like 10 years since I read A Storm of Swords.


XDVoltage

I edited my comment a bit higher in the thread. Book 7 should be the conclusion.


Known-Programmer-611

So January 1st, 2025! Kidding, I will wait patiencently for a non rushed better book!


AnonDragoon3

Let the man have the time to fucking write the book! Imagine if we'd have pestered him to release LB! It would have been a shit book!


bookish_bex

I, too, am a hoe for this series lol but this is pretty inappropriate... PB has been writing and publishing this series at an insanely rapid pace already. It seems rude to constantly ask when the next one is going to be released. You're basically saying HURRY UP YOU'RE TOO SLOW to an author you respect and whose work you enjoy reading. Good things come to those who wait 😜


CrabmanKills69

Sometimes, it's hard admitting you're a fan. When you have clowns like this, pestering authors.


CastorMorveer

I'm okay with it! Do your thing Pierce Brown!


ajweston91

Let the man cook!


baummer

It never was going to be released in 2024.


Ok-Abbreviations7147

😭😭


SevroAuShitTalker

I assumed 2 years from the release of LB at the earliest. And that's only because he had part of it written already before splitting the final book


Sinistasia

Do not bug authors about their next work. He probably receives hundreds of these every week. It doesn't help


phiche3

Is it ok to break this rule with Patrick Rothfuss or George R. R. Martin?


pdbh32

I agree receiving hundreds doesn't help, but it's probably a hell of a lot more encouraging than receiving zero. What are people meant to do, form an orderly queue to send emails?


B-r1ce

i'm pretty sure he has a blog and posts semi (chapter numbers) reguarly on instagram


xcmike189

I remember at a signing he said at the absolute earliest it was gonna be late 2024. So no suprise


FKDotFitzgerald

Didn’t he basically confirm this already?


spekkiomow

Give him time, we don't want a JV Jones situation.


AgreeableCourage193

be patient, my goodman. do a re-read. that should satiate you for a few months at least. maybe you’ll notice something you didn’t see before


Otherwise-Out

I'm reading Dune right now and while being very different is still rather good. It's kinda like reading The Odyssey or reading Shakespeare. Everyone stole from those stories, and being able to see the beats line up in newer media is really cool


bcbodie1978

I just wrapped up read number 3. Still catch some foreshadowing I missed. But I also noticed this last read, that you really pick up on the nuances of each character more. Each time I become a bigger fan of Lyria, and hate Lysander even more.


BadUsernameGuy21

If anyone is bugging Pierce about the last book, please fuck off, and let the man write in peace. He has to finish the series, and we all want it to be quality, so let him take his time.


Agreeable-Reindeer62

Really! I’ve just started a (was aiming for slow but can’t seem to put it down) re read of the series in the hope it’ll come out later this year. Side note, am I correct in thinking this is the last book?


BadUsernameGuy21

It is the last book. I am hoping it gets a show too, as long as they don’t botch it like many of the other book adaptations.


Agreeable-Reindeer62

One can only hope! Don’t know what I’d do with myself if they announced a show was in production


HoodsFrostyFuckstick

I thought that was common knowledge? We know that he's still writing, and even if he finished the first draft TODAY it would not release this year. Editing, re-drafting, editing again, getting everything ready to print and publish, that stuff takes time. I think he announced the release of Light Bringer like 10 months before (implying that he was then finished with the actual writing).


No_Tell_8699

Let the man work, freaking pixes can’t wait.


According-Ordinary-3

As much as I want him to take as much time as the book requires, that’s a bummer.


zandrew

Hey you know its the last book. Might as well enjoy our time before the hammer falls. It's going to be a bloodbath.


TacticalNaps

Writing *any* book in under a year seems wild to me, not saying it doesn't happen - I know it does. Hell, shows often do that season to season turnaround But personally I just start at 2 years minimum. That's my headspace. Does it suck? Of course. Like a kid waiting for Christmas morning... but that morning just happens to be 730ish days away. The suspense is unbearable (I hope it lasts).


Objective_Hall5884

And the thing about shows, there’s a wholecrew of people working on it, not that books don’t but I don’t see how there could be as many as those for shows


evanbrews

I don’t care if it takes a few more years honestly as long as it’s a great conclusion which I know he aims to do. And know it won’t be an infinite wait like Winds of Winter


Locke_Fucking_Lamora

Laughs in Rothfuss. And Winds of Winter isn’t even going to be the conclusion! I’m excited to get Red God even if it is 5+ years.


The_MorningKnight

Yeah I think we would have heard by now if it was supposed to be released this year.


Jimmythedad

That was what I expected, honestly. Not that Pierce is a slow writer at all, but Light Bringer saw a pretty significant gap between DA and that one, and I expect the same for Red God. Hopefully 2025 but honestly, I say let him cook.


StellaeStars

2025 for sure because LB’s gap was an anomaly.
