Never a dull moment
Simply awesome. There is never a dull moment in this book. Right from the beginning till the very end there is lot of action. Lot of plot twists that will amaze a reader. As pointed out at several places, the storyline has lot of shades from Game of Thrones. I thought the first book to be very average, where lot of teenage kids kill each other for the sake of some games (very much similar to Hunger games), but in this one there is lot of mature action, politics and betrayals that makes it worth a read.

The greatest sci-fi cum fantasy I’ve ever read🔥
If u didn’t like red rising, give this book a try bcz the story is so much different. Everything that was promised in the first book is given to u and even more in the second book. And the ending is the best.

Not the best of my liking, but gripping enough to keep me going
Even though this novel can classify as a Sci-Fi, it's not Sci-fi enough for my liking, Futuristic Science is not the central theme in the novel, its more on the fantasy side rather than Sci-Fi. That's probably the reason that it will not be on the top end of the stories I have liked. But it still qualifies an above 4 rating for this part of the novel series. It had a lot of twists and turns.

I thought the first book was good, the Golden Sun is even better. Pierce's writing is amazing. I really loved the ending. Excited to read Morning Star next. I'm glad I started on the Trilogy.

This is a fantastic sequel to Red Rising. It is completely compelling, full of drama twists and turns with a literal jaw dropping ending. Pierce's characterisation of Darrow is brilliant. He does not write him as a flawless hero but as a very human young man who is brave but feels fear, makes mistakes but who clings to a core belief that things should be better, that there is love and justice to fight for. I can't recommend this book enough, particularly the graphic audio version, you will be swept through a full spectrum of emotions. 5⭐ is not high enough.

Golden Son, the second book in the Red Rising series, is an electrifying continuation of the epic saga that began with Red Rising. Pierce Brown has once again delivered a masterpiece that surpasses all expectations. From the very first page, Golden Son grabs hold of your imagination and refuses to let go. The story picks up right where Red Rising left off, plunging readers back into the heart-pounding action and intrigue of Darrow's world. The stakes are higher, the dangers more perilous, and the plot twists more jaw-dropping than ever before. One of the highlights of Golden Son is its relentless pace. Brown expertly balances heart-stopping action sequences with moments of quiet reflection, keeping readers glued to the edge of their seats from start to finish. The battles are epic in scope, the political machinations are intricate and compelling, and the emotional depth of the characters is truly remarkable. Speaking of characters, Golden Son introduces us to a host of new faces while also deepening our understanding of familiar ones. Darrow continues to be a captivating protagonist, but it's the supporting cast that truly shines in this book. Each character is fleshed out with their own motivations, flaws, and complexities, adding layers of depth to an already richly imagined world. But perhaps what I love most about Golden Son is its willingness to challenge conventions and defy expectations. Brown isn't afraid to take risks with his storytelling, and the result is a narrative that is as unpredictable as it is thrilling. In conclusion, Golden Son is a tour de force of science fiction storytelling that will leave you breathless and eager for more. Whether you're a fan of the genre or simply appreciate a well-crafted tale of adventure and intrigue, this book is an absolute must-read. Trust me, you won't be able to put it down!
