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.
My Stance:
The sequel to Red Rising just makes me wonder about reading that book. I need to get around to it and the cover looks pretty good. The one line just stands in my head, "... continuing status as one of fiction's most exciting new voices." I want to read the book after a statement like that. I would love to say I didn't read the synopsis on this book, but I did and there's not much to learn or spoil in this book. Franky it's synopsis like this that give nothing about the first book away, but actually create more intrigue to read the first. I love it, but as well with so much high statements about the author, I am afraid it'll fall short.
