Golden Son by Pierce Brown

adventurous dark fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes

5.0

If the first book was perfect, this one surpassed it. From the beginning, it changed my expectations completely. Nothing that happens, from start to finish, was on my list of theories. 

The maturity in the characters and how the escalate in situations is developed in such a way that you cannot stop reading. The author's narrative mixing moments of “peace” and action gives the story a rhythm that goes straight to the point without being redundant.

As I conclude this book, I now understand why many people wrote to me that it is their favorite of the trilogy (although I have yet to read the third). The number of events that occur is so many and when you are already familiar with the characters, including the new ones, each dialogue, decision, tragedy, and plot twist, you feel it on another level due to the bond created.

I can't wait to read the third, I CAN'T WAIT.
