Wow, my friends! I have to say that this book is really good (like this is where the hype starts to kick in). While I believe it deserves five stars, I'll wait until I finish the entire series before changing my rating. Golden Son far surpassed Red Rising in terms of writing and storytelling. The plot follows Darrow after the Institute trials, taking us on a thrilling and incredible journey filled with numerous plot twists and the introduction of several new (mostly lovable) characters.
I simply couldn't wait to dive into this book and get lost in its world every time I picked it up! It has everything a reader could ever want: adventure, intrigue, humor, love, and friendship. The best part? I found myself laughing constantly while reading it, and I mean that in the best way possible. Even in the most intense moments, the characters crack jokes, providing much-needed comic relief. The writing style reminds me of the humor and wit found in Guardians of the Galaxy.
Honestly, I don't think I can adequately explain why this book is so incredible. There's just too much to unpack. Do yourself a favor and stick with the series. I guarantee you won't be disappointed. Alter the paradigm, y'all 🖖🤪

What about what I’ve seen? We’re down in the shit. We’re dying. And what are you doing? Philosophizing.
Updated to my review from 4.75 to 5 ⭐ after finishing Morning Star
