Iron Gold picks up the story of Darrow once again, the great hero of the revolution which was supposed to change everything for the better, bringing about eternal piece and prosperity. While the goals might be fulfilled, many will wonder as to whether or not they were worth it. More often than not, they engender months, years, if not decades of armed conflict as well as massive and violent schisms in society. While in movies and most fictional books revolutions end in joy and laughter, the reality is a bit more depressing.
Revolutions are often seen as noble causes where the little people band together in order to terminate whatever oppressor has them under their thumb. Anyhow, now that you have been adequately warned, let us proceed onwards. While theoretically I guess you could pick up this book and still enjoy it without reading the previous ones, you’ll be missing out on a lot of context and development which will make this story a bit of a head scratcher. Before we actually have a look at the book itself, be warned this isn’t the kind of series you can start reading from any point and get the whole experience. The Red Rising Saga by Pierce Brown is already on its fourth entry in the series, titled Iron Gold, with the fifth one being scheduled for publishing in September 2018.
