Golden Son/Pierce Brown/446 pgs.

This is the 2nd book in the Red Rising trilogy, and it is just as good, if not better than Red Rising.  In a Dystopian world where society is divided into colors, with Golds being the  highest members of society, and Reds being at the bottom, Darrow was transformed from a Red into a Gold in the hopes that he could lead a revolution which would result in a more equitable society. It sounds good in theory, but Darrow soon learns that the Golds are more than happy with the current state of the world, and do not welcome change. There is conspiracy, death, political struggles. suspense--you name, this book has it. There are some striking similarities to our world affairs--past and present. Highly recommended!
