It's been a while since I've had a book that I couldn't put down as much as this one. Sure, every now and then I'll find a book I am eager to read each night, but to actively drop everything in life and solely commit to a book is much more uncommon. I enjoyed Red Rising - I found it pleasantly clever, surprising and intriguing enough to make me purchase the second book - but the trilogy as a whole and my confidence in the author was still very much up for debate. Golden Son has ended that debate. It is by far and away the better book, and for a sequel to be superior to the original is an incredibly rare thing indeed.
The chaos from the games has now spilled over into the wider world, and the stakes have never been higher. The enemies of Darrow's past still linger, are still threatening as he turns his sights to the Society itself. As you will no doubt know from reading Red Rising, don't expect an easy ride and don't expect there to not be casualties. Pierce Brown has woven an incredible plot of love, betrayal and death. Never has the slogan "filled with twists and turns" been more appropriate than for this book.
If you finished Red Rising and are debating whether it is worth continuing, I hope that this review, if nothing else, convinces you that yes, it absolutely is.
