Golden Son (Red Rising Saga, #2)

by Pierce Brown

He always thinks because I’m reading, I’m not doing anything. There is no greater plague to an introvert than the extroverted.

“I’m Gold, bitch. What’d you expect? Warm milk and cookies just because I’m pocket-sized?”

I listened to this scene like 5 times, because it had me laughing so hard. It's not even that funny, but it came out of nowhere. I wasn't expecting it.

Slaves do not have the bravery of free men. That is why Golds lie to lowReds and make them think they are brave. That is why they lie to Obsidians and make them think it is an honor to serve gods. Easier than the truth. Yet it takes only one truth to bring a kingdom of lies crashing down.
