many beautiful women

One thing I love about Red Rising is how often characters, but especially Darrow, just go “I do not want to be here, I do not want to fight, I do not want to break bones and feel blood on my hands. I want to be in peace with the people who love me. But to honor those people/keep them safe I’ll fight.”

Darrow as a protagonist is brutally honest about being scared and lost and sad. He’s a myth, he’s cultivated a reputation of a killer. But all he ever wanted was to be a father and a husband.

“But this girl, when they took her… I would have done anything to see her smirking again.”

I like to imagine Darrow gave Mustang all the haemanthus flowers after realizing his love for her, because as he said, the flower is a representation of his heart ♥️
