Iron Gold, Pierce Brown, Four Stars

Another excellent work by Brown. It had surprisingly few neck-snapping plot twists compared to some of the previous volumes, but it was a good story well told. Some familiar characters developed apace while we were introduced to still more (yes, *even* more!). Interestingly, the first-person point of view shifted around quite a bit this time, with several of the characters anchoring the story line. The pace remained high through most of it. If you have read other Red Rising books, then you won't want to miss this one! If you haven't, I would recommend reading them in order, starting with Red Rising. One of the better bits of fiction on offer today, so long as you like action and don't shrink away from some science fiction violence.
