Golden Son by Pierce Brown
5.0
This book has slayed me.

Okay now that I have calmed down from the ending of this book I can add words to this review.
I sat there shocked and sad when I reached the end. The entire book had me wanting to hug Darrow, but at the same time it made me want to slap him. He made his bed and he had to lay in it. "Death begets death begets death." There is no better quote to describe this book than that. The entire world exploded in it and made me question my own friendships!! Okay not really, but still!!! The ending was so intense and all I could yell was "WHAT'S IN THE BOX?"
You knew the Jackal was planning something, you just KNEW some shit was going to go down, but I didn't think it was going to be THAT. As much as I hate Roque for what he did, I can't blame him for it. Darrow kept secrets from him and called him a loyal dog, so I understand why he chose someone else over his "brother."
I tell you though, that scene with Darrow and Karnus had me screaming in my car! (I listened to the audiobook for most of it). I was literally screaming "YES!" It was beautiful. I was so glad that I had bought Morning Star and had it on hand when I finished Golden Son. I feel for those who had to wait a year for the next one! <3 you all and your strength!!!
