Iron Gold by Pierce Brown

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


It's hard to review the story of this book without spoiling it, but it takes place about 20 years after the first book in the series. I like how it tells four different stories from the perspective of four different characters. I didn't like how the book ended on a cliffhanger. Fans of sci-fi will definitely enjoy this series.

Red Rising

My rating: 4 out of 5 stars

Red Rising, by Pierce Brown is about Darrow, a Red Helldiver, who lives in a mining colony. As a Helldiver, he works deep in the mines with a large, hand-shaped, molten drill. After the Sons of Ares enlist him to help them free his fellow Reds, he has to infiltrate the Society and attempt to destroy it from the inside.

I liked the setting but I didn't like how the plot was a little slow in the beginning. I enjoyed the second half of the book more, where it becomes more of a survival book, with a new setting.

I thing fans of sci-fi and survival would enjoy this book.
