Pierce Brown strikes again.
What an amazing book. This one was very different from the last two. Darrow was a very different person than when we left him at the end of Golden Sons when this book started and it shows. The author says this in the acknowledgements but honestly the book isn't really even about Darrow. It's about everyone around him. My favorite parts were the moments where it was "quiet" and you got to really see into the characters and how they think and feel. Like a character study almost but done in the most compelling way with characters both old and new. There are still the classic twists and turns associated with a Pierce Brown book so it definetly isn't boring. I seriously couldn't put it down. Simply amazing, I can't wait to read Iron Gold but I'm going to take some time to sit with the characters as I know them right now. Enjoy them in their peace.
I know Iron Gold goes crazy and it is definetly not peaceful so I don't want to jump into that right away haha.
