This is the second book in the Red Rising Saga. It's set in a future where democracy is out and everyone lives within a colour based caste system. The reds are the bodies or workers of the group, while the silvers are judge and jury and the gold class rule. There are other colour classes too, such as the obsidians, who are a warrior race. Each person has physical attributes that denote their place in the system.
This series centres around a young red called Darrow. His status as a red puts him at the bottom of the ladder. His people spend their whole lives underground, labouring in the mines.
**SPOILERS ahead! Stop reading here if you want to read the first book, Red Rising
The reds have been told that they are toiling in order to save humanity, but it's a lie. Outraged by the injustice, Darrow rebels and is biologically changed to a gold in secret. He's been through a lot, and now in Golden Son he's on his own. His mission? To break the chains and topple the golds.
Rated: 5/5 Jackals "It's one of my favourite books -I've read it three times"
This is Twilight from Edward's perspective. It's about 800-900 pages long and I'm nearly in the middle. Edward has different senses and Meyer uses lots of descriptive language for all of their first encounters.
I think it's an obsession really, not a normal relationship. He watches her sleep - that's a bit uncomfortable. Because of his amazing hearing he can also listen in on all her private conversations.
Rated: 3/5 Vampires
