Summary
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 amongst the Gold ruling class, Darrow continues his work to bring down society from within. It's a journey that will take him further than he's ever been before, but is Darrow truly willing to pay the price that rebellion demands?

big cliffhanger
Very few parts were boring. Darrow needs to stop super duper taking ownership if everything that happens.
and very good sequel for the first book. enjoyed it a lot

Just as good as Bk 1.
Our hero adjusts to life amongst the Golds...Or Gods to some of the lesser colours. All the ups and downs of the first book are still there with continued similarities of a Greek Tragedy or corrupt Roman Empire waiting to be brought down from inside. Lots of fighting and not just the space gun kind nicely breaks up some of the politics romance and bromance. 5 stars :)

Golden son
A great 2nd book in this series. Picks up a few months after the last one left off so don’t be confused by the new characters, you’ll grow to like them as much as the old set!

Couldn’t put it down!
A stunning sequel. If you liked the first book you’ll love the second.
As ever your kept on your toes not knowing what will happen next, plots within plots within plots. Pierce Brown continues to do an excellent job and developing the characters, bring them on their journey, growing them through their experiences - very tricky to do this well and naturally but he gets it spot on.
You’re brought on this rollercoaster (emotionally and dramatically) through some stellar writing and another brilliant performance by Tim Gerard Reynolds.
You love people, then you hate them, then you love them again.
Straight onto book three for me.

First rate story telling
Cannot recommend these books enough. just finished the audiobook of Book 2 and actually sat back in the long grass, gardening duties forgotten, as the climax to book 2 played out. A few swearwords have escaped my mouth whilst listening to the twists and turns as I've walked my dogs or dug away atthe garden and every so often I just stop so I don't miss a single thing.
Great characters, a plot which twists and turns and lifts you and drops you and read by a master of the craft.
As an avid consumer of literature with fantasy and sci-fi my most preffered, I was grinding my way through another book always knowing Golden Son was waiting. When I finally gave up on the book and started this 'un, I knew it was the right choice. Finding reasons to get out the house, walk the dog, gardening etc. just to get back to Darrow and Mars.
Think I'm just going to have to start Book 3 the moment I finish typing this.
I dont want the gorydamn thing to end my goodman.

Another great book by Pierce Brown
Following the Red Rising, this book continued where the last left. It starts full of suspense and keeps you enthralled to the end.

The book when Red rising goes from good to great
Amazing sequel, as ever TGR’s narration is sublime. Pierce Brown has developed so much as a writer since his first book and this has some amazing and touching moments. The ending is as amongst the best you’ll ever read. This is PB’s Empire Strikes Back.

A great continuation from the first book
What I liked:
Ancient Roman / Greek inspired futuristic setting
Quite a lot of action throughout the book
Interesting characters you can never quite work out
Good twists and a great cliffhanger ending
What I didn’t like so much:
The main character isn’t totally likeable and a bit of a frustrating lens for the story
I think sometimes the author relies upon bringing in somewhat minor characters that are difficult to remember to shake things up. For example the final action packed scene of the book involves remembering some pretty minor characters from the first book to really feel the tension of a big reveal.
The above is further complicated by many having similar sounding names.
Overall if you like the first you’ll like this one too, possibly more as it deviates from the familiar hunger games style scenario. I can’t deny the ending is a great cliffhanger to make you desperate to dive into the third book.
