“Power must be claimed. Wealth won. Rule, dominion, empire purchased with blood. You scarless children deserve nothing. You do not know pain. You do not know what your forefathers sacrificed to place you on these heights. But soon, you will. Soon, we will teach you why Gold rules mankind. And I promise, of those among you, only those fit for power will survive.”
Words cannot fully describe how much I love and admire this book. This is my second time that I am reading this book but it honestly felt like it was the first time! This book had me feeling all sorts of emotions, the anger of seeing the class division within the society, the lies that were being issues to all those LowReds who are working and dying for these lies feed by the Golds. For all the pain and suffering and transformation Darrow had to go through to break those chains!
“Death isn’t empty like you say it is. Emptiness is life without freedom, Darrow. Emptiness is living chained by fear, fear of loss, of death. I say we break those chains. Break the chains of fear and you break the chains that bind us to the Golds, to the Society.”
It was all so cruel and gruesome, despicable, disgusting and disturbing and yet I loved every bloodydamn moment of it! This is not your average or easy going YA book, it’s worse and more. It is everything I crave in these types of books. I am anxious to read more about this cruel world and how Darrow will overcome this Society with his loyal partners.
Soo good, and worth the hype!
My son, my son
Remember the chains
When gold ruled with iron reins
We roared and roared
And twisted and screamed
For ours, a vale of better dreams

thank you to the wonderful Milica for the recommendation!
buddy read with dearest Karen in the Buddy Reads Group!
holy crap, this book! ahh! i'm actually soooo in love with this book and with Darrow - and ESPECIALLY with Sevro - it's actually crazy haha. this book is just so unique and vicious!!
this book is crazy unique. a world separated by eye-colour, a massive 'game' much like The Hunger Games but cooler and more vicious, this book had it all. i'm blown away and desperate for book #2!
now, do be warned, this book is very dark and brutal. it's not fluff, and it's certainly not light-and-entertaining YA. it's shocking and it's a little bit disgusting at time. but, nonetheless: i. love. it.
i love how realistic this book is, with the way that Darrow doesn't win every fight. i love the characters and how human they are. i love the unique dystopia and the crazy battles and the dramatic betrayals. i love it all!
this book was an amazing change from a lot of YA books, and i'm so glad! it's always nice to mix things up. this book is honestly worth the hype! totally amazing.
