Golden Son by Pierce Brown
5.0
Wait, it’s been two years?
Despite it only being a month since I read the last book I remember very little.
Aw, Darrow cares about his crew.
Clearly, Julia au Bellona is bonkers.
I love Roque and Theodora.
Oh shit, Jackal is plotting to take down the Sons of Ares.
“‘Darrow, darling—’ Mickey tries.
‘Shut up, Mickey.’
‘Yes. All right.’”—Page 67
I love Mickey.
So Dancer is dead now Harmony and Evey have gone nuts.
Awwww, Eo was pregnant and that’s what she said to her sister.
And now Darrow is going to the dark side.
“Home isn’t where you’re from, it’s where you find light when all grows dark.”—Page 87
Favorite quote. I’m glad that Darrow is going to save Roque.
Mustang is with Cassius. Damn.
I’m glad that Darrow didn’t bomb the place.
We’re going to start a Civil War.
“Too late to go back. I dive in.
Smile.”—Page 104
Oh my god.
“My honor has been pissed upon.”—Page 105
This is great.
Wait, shit, I just realized that Darrow isn’t going through the bombing but he drugged Roque.
Leto’s dead.
Lysander is pretty cute!
Darrow caught the Sovereign in a lie and Mustang is on our side. I suppose I wasn’t that afraid that Mustang had gone to the Bellona side because y’know romance!
TACTUS! YOU ASSHOLE! HE TOOK LYSANDER!
Ragnar is weird.
“‘They’re full of batshit, dominus.’ She taps a slender finger against her temple. ‘I am not full of batshit.’”—Page 200
I like Orion.
Ares sent Servo! And Dancer is alive? Yes, he’s alive.
“And…don’t laugh. I actually hate the color gold. Green goes better with my complexion.”—Page 213
Okay, I love Victra.
Ooooo Mustang.
Kavax is so great.
“Inside, old Julius found his daughter’s head. Grapes stuffed in Iona’s mouth along with two wedding rings.”—Page 255
Fucking hell.
It’s a trap. It’s a double trap!
Tactus, you asshole.
“Always,”—Page 265
Oh, Tactus.
“‘What if I let you live?’ I asked suddenly, drawing a confused, frantic glance from Tactus. Of course he doesn’t understand forgiveness. ‘What if I let you come back?’
‘What?’
‘What if I forgave you?’
‘You’re lying.’”—Page 266
Please Tactus.
“‘I’m sorry,’ he says a dozen times.”—Page 267
I’M SO HAPPY!
LORN YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE HE WAS GOING TO CHANGE! At least Tactus didn’t betray Darrow. I was so worried he was going to kill the kids.
“Pliny has begun a coup. He arrested my brother. My aunt is dead, and her children murdered along with six of our Praetors.”—Mustang, Page 271
Fucking asshole.
“‘In due time, Darrow.’ Grandfatherly concern spreads across Lorn’s face as her turns to Mustang. ‘My lady, you’ve been through a trial. Perhaps you should find rest and we could—’
The Howlers and I back away from Lorn.”—Page 273
I would back away, too.
TACTUS DIDN’T SELL THE VIOLIN!
“Kavax crosses his burly arms. ‘Apologies. That she is your mother.’”—Page 280
AYOOOO!
Augustus is afraid of robots taking over the world. Some things never change in humans.
Ragnar is now Darrow’s friend!
“If your heart beats like a drum,
and your leg’s a little wet,
it’s ‘cause the Reaper’s come
to collect a little debt.”—Page 304
Servo, I love you. Also Ragnar doesn’t like rhyming for some reason. Did they whip him while reading Dr. Seuss?
There goes Pliny.
“We’ll make amends later.”—Page 316
Roque’s going to die.
“She leaves, squeezing Ragnar’s forearm as she passes.”—Page 318
Theodora and Ragnar?
Oh shit, Jackal is plotting to take down the Sons of Ares.
“‘Darrow, darling—’ Mickey tries.
‘Shut up, Mickey.’
‘Yes. All right.’”—Page 67
I love Mickey.

Theodora and Ragnar?
“I am a man!”—Page 353
HELL YEAH!
Karnus is dead so that’s nice.
FITCHNER IS ARES!!!
Wow, Roque is actually alive. I ship Roque and Daxo TBH.
The Jackal has captured the Sons of Ares. For about 10 minutes.
“The first Golds, the ones with normal eyes and gold uniforms, took most of the early recruits from the poor bastards from the Irish isles after the radiation from London turned the isles into a wasteland.”—Page 389
…What?
“Well, that was emotional.”—Page 391
Fitchner is great.
So Fitchner fell in love with a Gold and Servo is a half Gold/half Red. Bryn. A pretty name.
Now Darrow is going to take Mustang to his real home.
HIS MOTHER RECOGNIZES HER! Aw, most of family is dead. Narol is dead…maybe.
FUCK THE JAKAL AND OCTAVIA FUCKED SHIT UP! EVERYONE IS DEAD! AHHHHHHH!! MAN AM I GLAD I ORDERED THE NEXT BOOK!
Despite it only being a month since I read the last book I remember very little.
