Golden Son by Pierce Brown

adventurous dark tense fast-paced

4.75

This series is never afraid to take dark turns and subject the protagonist to untold horrors. Every second of reading this book had me on the edge of my seat, trembling with fear for Darrow. He lives in a treacherous world, one that feels as unpredictable to the reader as to the protagonist. Beyond the philosophical arguments of the book (which are interesting in and of themselves) comes the rising action and tense plot and character relationships which are written so cleverly and seriously that it feels sometimes indistinguishable from a true story of real people. Besides the constant anxiety that plagued me while reading this novel, I had a fantastic time and really did get completely sucked into the narrative.
