Red Rising

Golden Son

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.

Not my favourite in the series, but it's still quite good! I found the ending shocking, though nothing probably should shock me in this brutal world... The book feels more political than Red Rising, as in, Darrow has to play more at politics than "just survive" as he did in the first one. One can easily imagine a Roman empire as the Golds seem to build themselves upon. It is brutal and heartbreaking... It's told from a first person perspective (Darrow) and the reader does a great job at capture his emotions and persona. A couple of scenes REALLY stand out and will stick with me, thus I give it 5 stars instead of my initial 4. Onto the next one!
