Iron Gold by Pierce Brown

dark emotional sad tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.75

multiple POVs done really well. lots of set up (to be expected) but still gripping. some character choices make me soooo upset but they make sense and were very engaging.
