About this audiobook

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.

book 2 in this series...one of the best sci fi fantasy/dystopian novels I've read. Full of tragedy but tempered with moments of triumph and joy. Social classes relocated to colors where humans are reduced to being only one aspect of thehuman range of Talents,emotions,abilities,desires...from the slave class of Reds to the god-like class of Golds. Reds and low colors rebel with Arries at their lead to break the chains!

I was absolutely blown away by Golden Son, the second book in the Red Rising series by Pierce Brown. If you loved the first book, you're in for an even more thrilling and intense ride.

Many sequels start to feel poorly constructed in reference to the original material as if the author is reaching aimlessly and without care for the original exposition. This sequel fits with Red Rising seamlessly and may even be better.
