Praise for Golden Son
“Gripping . . . Both author and lead character have cranked up the
emotional stakes. . . . With Golden Son, [Pierce] Brown avoids the
sophomore slump, charging the novel with the kind of
dystopia-toppling action you’d expect in a trilogy ender, not a
middle volume. On virtually every level, this is a sequel that
hates sequels—a perfect fit for a hero who already defies the
tropes. [Grade:] A”—Entertainment Weekly
“Stirring . . . Comparisons to The Hunger Games and Game of Thrones
series are inevitable, for this tale has elements of both.”—Kirkus
Reviews
“Brown writes layered, flawed characters . . . but plot is his most
breathtaking strength. . . . Every action seems to flow into
the next.”—NPR
“It’s a far superior sequel, in fact: one of the rare breed of
reads that improves upon its predecessor in every conceivable
category. . . . In a word, Golden Son is stunning. Never mind how
little we’ve seen of 2015: Among science fiction fans, it should be
a shoo-in for book of the year.”—Tordotcom
“Pierce Brown is a prodigy. As great as the first book of the Red
Rising Trilogy is, Golden Son is even better. A wild ride full of
suspense, intrigue, and serious ass-kicking bravado, it’s expertly
written and emotionally engaging, with top-notch universe-building
that begs for further exploration. I want more!”—Christopher
Golden, New York Times bestselling author of Snowblind
“The stakes are even higher than they were in Red Rising, and the
twists and turns of the story are every bit as exciting. The
jaw-dropper of an ending will leave readers hungry for the
conclusion to Brown’s wholly original, completely thrilling
saga.”—Booklist (starred review)
“Dramatic . . . the rare middle book that loses almost no momentum
as it sets up the final installment.”—Publishers Weekly
Praise for Pierce Brown’s Red Rising
“[A] spectacular adventure . . . one heart-pounding ride . . .
Pierce Brown’s dizzyingly good debut novel evokes The Hunger Games,
Lord of the Flies, and Ender’s Game. . . . [Red Rising] has
everything it needs to become meteoric.”—Entertainment Weekly
“[A] top-notch debut novel . . . Red Rising ascends above a crowded
dystopian field.”—USA Today
“Compulsively readable and exceedingly entertaining . . . [a] must
for both fans of classic sci-fi and fervent followers of new school
dystopian epics.”—Examiner
“A story of vengeance, warfare and the quest for power . . .
reminiscent of The Hunger Games and Game of Thrones.”—Kirkus
Reviews
“Fast-paced, gripping, well-written—the sort of book you cannot put
down.”—Terry Brooks, New York Times bestselling author of The Sword
of Shannara
“Pierce Brown has done an astounding job at delivering a powerful
piece of literature that will definitely make a mark in the minds
of readers.”—The Huffington Post
