Dark Age by Pierce Brown

3.0

Dark Age was hyped to be the best book since Golden Son for me by multiple people but it was kinda mid. It's confusing because everything was elevated: the prose, the story, the character development, and the plot twists. I think I still don't care about what's going on, the plot isn't plotting.

Like Iron Gold, I was only invested in anything Darrow-related. However, Lysander intrigued me, and Virginia was alright. Part 3 is when I started to care about the story and everyone who fell in battle was sad. But it wasn't enough to bring this from the 3-star friend zone. Unfortunate.

Anyway, I hear Lightbringer is Darrow's book, so hopefully, we'll be back on track.
