With shades of The Hunger Games, Ender's Game, and Game of Thrones, debut author Pierce Brown's genre-defying epic Red Rising hit the ground running and wasted no time becoming a sensation. Golden Son continues the stunning saga of Darrow, a rebel forged by tragedy, battling to lead his oppressed people to freedom from the overlords of a brutal elitist future built on lies. Now fully embedded among the Gold ruling class, Darrow continues his work to bring down Society from within. A life-or-death tale of vengeance with an unforgettable hero at its heart, Golden Son guarantees Pierce Brown's continuing status as one of fiction's most exciting new voices.

This story keeps me engaged and on the edge of my seat. The plot constantly keeps me guessing where the author is taking us and who will next betray whom. This book was yet another mad roller-coaster ride of hope, sorrow, surprise, dread, and growing unease up until the final sentence. One that flipped the world upside-down and left me in an emotional disarray almost unwilling but at the same time already tapping to find the next part of the series... One of the strongest experiences a book has given me in a while. Extra kudos for the narrator for a work extraordinarily well made.
