Pierce Brown
Book 2 of the Red Rising Trilogy
Starting a couple years after Red Rising, Darrow is now leading House Augustus in final exam for The Academy, effectively a massive war games set in the asteroid belt. Right on the verge of winning the games, he is blindsided by House Ballona and loses not only the games, but his entire ship and crew. The result is that he is disowned by Augustus and put on the auction block. The remainder of the book is effectively a political thriller in how to run a revolution. Very well done with keeping the intrigue and suspense alive while offering the reader opportunities for thoughtful consideration of truly sticky moral issues. An excellent second book that is way more than the placeholder of most book two's in trilogies. Looking forward to the final installment.
