Publisher's Summary

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.

I feel this was better than the first!

Amazing book. Even better than the first for me. Characters develop further and a few twists. Going to jump straight into number 3 now.

Superb follow up to Red Rising

If you loved Red Rising, this won't disappoint. And you will finish this and get straight into Morning Star.

Excellent 2nd installment

This epic sci fi series has shocked me by how good it is!
Serious book nerds, don't be put off by the sci fi tag, or perhaps not having heard of the author.
This is a rip-roaring, nuanced, tale. The plot twists are stunning and it's full of heart and some really lovely introspection.
Surely this is going to be optioned as a film or tv series.
The narrator is also excellent - an absolute top notch voice talent who shows you how it should be done.

I love it!

After the first 2 books I was very scared to start this one. My sister warned me not to get too attached to the characters but how can you not?!
I love it! I love it!
