Description
In a brutal and vividly imagined future, society is divided into a rigid caste system based on colors, dictating not only status but the very essence of existence. Amidst this oppressive regime, a young lowborn named Darrow embarks on a perilous journey, driven by love, sacrifice, and a burning desire for equality. As he infiltrates the ranks of the elite Golds, he grapples with the weight of deception and moral dilemmas, forging unlikely alliances along the way.
As he confronts the dark realities of power and rebellion, Darrow’s determination is tested in ways he never anticipated. The stakes are not just his own life, but the future of his people and the hope for a world where freedom reigns. His quest for justice intertwines with personal ambition, igniting a fierce battle that could change everything.

Good book. 70% is build up and world building. Took a MINUTE to get through. Once it starts going it's hard to put down. Great character building. Many plot twists within the same chapter. Ending made mad, but excited to get to the next book.

Insanely unique idea and the writing is so compelling. I usually don't like first person perspective but the way Pierce writes Darrow is so different from any other first person perspective books I've read.
