WAITING ON WEDNESDAY: Golden Son by Pierce Brown

Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking The Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating.


Golden Son by Pierce Brown

(Red Rising Trilogy #2)

Published by: Del Rey

Release date: January 6th 2015

Pre-order: AmazonB&NIndigo 





Synopsis:

With shades of The Hunger Games, Ender’s Game, and Game of Thrones, debut author Pierce Brown’s genre-defying epic Red Rising hit the ground running and wasted no time becoming a sensation. Golden Son continues the stunning saga of Darrow, a rebel forged by tragedy, battling to lead his oppressed people to freedom from the overlords of a brutal elitist future built on lies. Now fully embedded among the Gold ruling class, Darrow continues his work to bring down Society from within. A life-or-death tale of vengeance with an unforgettable hero at its heart, Golden Son guarantees Pierce Brown’s continuing status as one of fiction’s most exciting new voices.

Why I'm waiting?


This is my first time posting Waiting on Wednesday post so I decided to go with a book I am looking forward to the most. Golden Son is sequel to phenomenal dystopian debut novel Red Rising (my favorite read of 2014) and if by any chance I got advanced copy, I would put everything aside and start it right this second. That's how excited I am to read it.

WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?

Thank you, Grace :) And yes, you definitely should read Red Rising. I can't recommend it enough.
Oh I still haven't read Red Rising but I've made note to read that one soon and than this high anticipated sequel! BTW--I just love the cover!

I absolutely agree, cover is so pretty! And I hope you will love Red Rising as much as I did when you get to it :)
For some reason, I always get Red Rising and Half Blood confused. It's the covers and their colour scheme, I tell you! And it's also the fact that I've yet to find anytime for both of these books. If Red Rising was one of your favourite reads than perhaps I should find some time for it. Maybe closer to Jan so that I can binge them both? :D

Oh yes, Red Rising was my top read in 2014 and in dystopian genre in general. Only dystopian book that I loved as much as Red Rising was Angelfall by Susan Ee.
And god thinking about waiting to January to read both books. Even though there was no big cliffhanger in first book (at least not based on my cliffy standards), it is always better to read books in series close together timewise.
