Golden Son / Pierce Brown

Golden Son
(Red Rising Saga #2)
by Pierce Brown

science fiction

copyright 2015
read in March 2020

rated 8/10: really quite good

I think that this book #2 could be read on its own -- but don't. There's a slew of swashbuckling adventure, scores of complex characters, a complex society, enough to entertain.

Yet I have read book #1 -- and I find it difficult to remember all but the few main characters. Then the ending... well... would be disappointing. Unless you read this book as part of a trilogy.

The near-ending is satisfying, then the last few chapters set the scene -- the not unexpected scene -- for book #3.

This is an excellent, brutal, complex series. Plan to read all three, in order. If book #3 is as good as #1 and #2 -- my rating for the complete trilogy will be nine, really really good.
