Book Review - Iron Gold
Hello All
I just finished Iron Gold, the 4th book in the Red Rising Saga and I must say, another fantastic read from author Pierce Brown. The style is different but the new perspectives bring a fresh feel to the story. We still get to live in the captivating world of colors, planets, and death but we get to see it through new eyes. Though it was definitely my least favorite of the series thus far, it is still a great addition to the overall saga that captivated my attention and left me yearning for more. A triumph!
Goodreads gives the following description
A decade ago, Darrow was the hero of the revolution he believed would break the chains of the Society. But the Rising has shattered everything: Instead of peace and freedom, it has brought endless war. Now he must risk everything he has fought for on one last desperate mission. Darrow still believes he can save everyone, but can he save himself?
And throughout the worlds, other destinies entwine with Darrow’s to change his fate forever:
A young Red girl flees tragedy in her refugee camp and achieves for herself a new life she could never have imagined.
An ex-soldier broken by grief is forced to steal the most valuable thing in the galaxy—or pay with his life.
And Lysander au Lune, the heir in exile to the sovereign, wanders the stars with his mentor, Cassius, haunted by the loss of the world that Darrow transformed, and dreaming of what will rise from its ashes.
I give this one 4 out of 5 stars. I'm really excited to find out what happens with Lysander au Lune and the great thing is, I have absolutely no idea what it will be. A great read even if I didn't enjoy it as much as the original trilogy. ⭐⭐⭐⭐
