Mogsy's Pick
Golden Son by Pierce Brown: January 13, 2015 (Del Rey)
I don't usually do books for Waiting on Wednedays that are so far out in terms of release date, but I LOVED the book Red Rising and so when I saw that the sequel got a cover reveal from Entertainment Weekly I just couldn't help myself! Of course this would have been featured earlier but it took me a while to find an image without the EW logo plastered all over it. Much thanks to Tammy at Books Bones & Buffy and her super Google-fu for finding an unblemished cover. The book was also her WoW last week!
"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."

Ooh, I've been hearing such good things about Red Rising! I know I'll have to read it soon. :) And this cover is pretty darn awesome. Great pick!

This series is sounding very intriguing indeed. I haven't read the first book and I don't know if I will give a try in the future but great pick this week. Thanks for sharing.

DeleteJanuary 13? Now that's definitely a Wait! Here's my WOW.
ReplyDeleteYa, that is a bit too far away for me to get excited about.
ReplyDeleteAre you going to read it, you think? I remember seeing you weren't too crazy about the first book.
DeleteAhhh, I still have to read Red Rising (I know, I know) but I WILL read it before this one. I hope. I have to. Looooong wait (this is also why I avoid first in a series) :( Great pick! :)
