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.

What I loved about Red Rising was that the main protagonist Darrow is far from perfect. Yes he's become quite the physical specimen, but under the armor and the golden exterior is a very flawed and deeply conflicted soul. Pierce Brown really leaned into the social injustice of this world and Darrow at times finding himself enjoying the splendor of being on top. It's a rare novel that mends together huge action sequences with quiet reflective moments.
Golden Son is a surprising second novel that doesn't stop introducing you to its main character. I found the quiet times in Golden Son were some of its best. Don't get me wrong Darrow diving for fleeting space crafts or competing in duels is great fun, but the book is such a great representation of the levels of our own society that I found those just as entertaining. There were countless moments in this novel that you get to take a deeper look at what drives Darrow and the conflicts anyone in his position would feel. Am I doing this for the right reasons? Will it make a difference? Will anyone even care?
For me Golden Son is a near perfect novel. I'm not sure I still enjoy the relationship between Darrow and Mustang. For me it just detracts a bit from what makes this world so compelling but its a minor gripe in what is otherwise a truly remarkable piece of fiction. I stayed up far too late to finish this book something I haven't done in a long, long time. And I can't think of another novel I would have rather done that for. Golden Son is a really great book and it makes me even more excited to see what Pierce Brown has in store for the final novel in the trilogy, Morning Star.
