Goodreads Synopsis:
Darrow would have lived in peace, but his enemies brought him war. The Gold overlords demanded his obedience, hanged his wife, and enslaved his people. But Darrow is determined to fight back. Risking everything to transform himself and breach Gold society, Darrow has battled to survive the cutthroat rivalries that breed Society’s mightiest warriors, climbed the ranks, and waited patiently to unleash the revolution that will tear the hierarchy apart from within.
Finally, the time has come.
But devotion to honor and hunger for vengeance run deep on both sides. Darrow and his comrades-in-arms face powerful enemies without scruple or mercy. Among them are some Darrow once considered friends. To win, Darrow will need to inspire those shackled in darkness to break their chains, unmake the world their cruel masters have built, and claim a destiny too long denied—and too glorious to surrender.
BLOODYDAMN BRILLIANT.
A great way to end the series. But now that Iron Gold is out I need to read that too!
What I enjoyed about this book was the strong bonds that were examined and tested. Because Darrow could not be who he was without his friends - which said a lot about Darrow and a lot about his friends. The war had not only taken a toll on everyone mentally and physically, but also Darrow's friendships were at stake, and it was nice that Darrow reaffirmed how much he needed everyone (Victra, Sevro, Ragnar, Mustang, Cassius, etc) and how he learned from his mistakes - HE CAN'T JUST DO EVERYTHING ALONE.
