“Gripping…Both author and lead character have cranked up the emotional stakes…charging the novel with the kind of dystopia-toppling action you’d expect in a trilogy ender, not a middle volume. On virtually every level, this is a sequel that hates sequels—a perfect fit for a hero who already defies the tropes. Grade A.”

Entertainment Weekly


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.

    Fantastic Read!

    What a book! This is the type of book you need seatbelts for. Five star applause for the author! I enjoyed Red Rising, but nothing prepared me for this book. Some books are described as a journey or ride. This book earns those words and more.

    How long can you hold your breath?!

    The 2nd book in the trilogy leaves the first in the wake. Red rising was great and I wondered if the 2nd would be as good. It was better than the first and as of now my favorite in the series (might stay that way). You will want to start with the first book Red Rising and be prepared to hold your breath for Golden Son. A roller coaster ride of emotions, Pierce Brown has created a spectacular universe and Tim Gerard Reynolds' performance takes the story to another level. Do not hesitate, listen to this book. All the feels....

    I don't typically like YA fiction, but this is pretty good

    There are some YA fiction moments that make me cringe a little, but those moments are rare, and for the most part it's a really good sci fi series. Very soft, the technology is a little ridiculous / magical at times, but the characters are fun and interesting if a little one-dimensional, and the plot is fast-paced with good turns. Narrator is amazing, just like in the first book.
