Golden Son

Well, color me speechless.

Dear Mr. Pierce Brown, what is this? What even is this book, this ending? I knew part of what was going to happen, yes, I knew that Roque was going to betray Darrow because I ended up spoiling myself during the AMA on reddit, but I could never have imagined it would be like this. Whoa. WHOA. I see now why Sevro is such a fan-favorite—I didn't in Red Rising—, I see how BIG this trilogy is, I see why people were so eager for Morning Star. Dear Mr. Pierce Brown, you got me.

Now, I do have issues with some aspects of the story. I won't talk about them here, but I do. Ok? Ok. Having said that, I have, against my better judgement, to put all of them aside and give Golden Son a full five stars. This book was a bloodydamn fun ride.
