ron Gold by Pierce Brown is the introduction to a second trilogy in the Red Rising universe. The first trilogy ended with Morning Star, which you can read my review of here. I enjoyed Golden Son in the first trilogy, but books one and three were average at best. Still, I wanted to continue the story, so I picked up Iron Gold and started reading. But was it worth it? Did I enjoy it? Was Iron Gold even a necessary book, or should the story have been left alone? These are the questions I will be answering in this spoiler-free review of Iron Gold by Pierce Brown.

I've been reading through Iron Gold throughout much of November. I had hoped to have it finished earlier, but tacking NaNoWriMo onto my litany of other tasks detracted from my reading time, among many other projects and duties that befell me, this month. Additionally, I changed to an overnight (12a-9a) shift, which meant that for at least a couple of weeks, I was sleeping when I should have been reading. Nevertheless, I’ll be wrapping up my reading this week and will have a review for Iron Gold out next Wednesday. In the meantime, I thought it would be fun to put together a reading blog for Iron Gold. This is my first time doing something like this, so bear with me while I continue learning the ropes.
