Golden Son

Golden Son – A Thrilling, Well-Written Sequel

⭐ 5/5

Color me impressed. While Golden Son follows a more traditional structure than Red Rising, it more than makes up for it with improved writing, relentless pacing, and expertly executed twists. The tension never lets up, and the story grips you from start to finish. The expanded world-building feels natural and full of things to explore, adding richness without slowing the pace. The combination of action, strategy, and character development makes this a truly exciting read—a rare sequel that surpasses the original.
