The book goes off into tangents that do not lead to a better story.

Pretty bland. Plots were predictable.

The violence is getting old with this series

I ache from reading this. There is nothing that can console me now.

Intense book if you liked the series you gonna love this one!

Hopes and stratagems floated and then dashed to the rocks. The good guys don’t always win but they go down fighting.

I was a little put off by all the mechanics of war in the beginning but soon was reminded of the layers of characters and once again trapped in the drama and complexity of the story. The futuristic worlds are commingled with original human tendencies leaving me wonder to whom am I rooting for and how can this story be concluded. I guess I’ll just have to keep on reading!

Phenomenal

An absolute gem of an entry in the series. Riveting from cover to cover. It’s hard to tell where this book starts and iron gold ends. I almost feel like they could have been one massive story. The way they flow together is masterful. Up until this book Golden Son was my favorite in the series. This one takes the cake and all the other desserts with it. The battles are nail biting. And the revelations in this book and the history that comes back keeps you turning pages. The way he takes characters that I had a hard time caring about in iron gold to Ephraim being my second favorite character in the entire series is beyond what I thought the sequel trilogy had in store for me. 2 thumbs way up. 5 stars. Whatever you want to call it. Don’t miss out on this fantastic novel

This book is everything you could ask for from a future among the stars love story of “GoT” meets “Dune” level proportions. The only word on your mind throughout this entire series is what’s next!
