### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Red Rising series has me hooked!
  

*by N***S on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 September 2024*

The gift that keeps on giving. This series has gotten better and better through each iteration and Morning Star was a fantastic read from start to end. Twists & turns, love, loss, laughter & everything in between. A wonderful clan of characters, who are so strongly written that this book felt as much about them as it did about Darrow.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Brilliant
  

*by M***T on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 June 2024*

This is a fitting ending to an excellent series that explores ideas of equity and justice, honour and integrity, love and loss and what it is to be human. I realise it’s not the end- but it was written as if it were and the result is satisfying on every level.  I am glad there’s more, but even absent the rest, this is as good as it gets.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Solid conclusion to a great series
  

*by S***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 February 2016*

I really enjoyed the first two books in the Red Rising trilogy, would this final book continue to engross me? To be honest, it does have a slightly sticky start. Brown’s forthright pacey style stuttered, and I found the opening pages a bit of a trudge as it seems to backtrack, rather than plunge headlong into the galloping plot. However, I persevered as I had really enjoyed the first two slices of this adventure, and was very curious to see how it would all pan out. About a quarter of the way in, the book picked up pace as Darrow was busy trying to stay alive, lurching from crisis to crisis as the rebellion kicked off around him.I like his character. Brown manages to provide the classic, driven alpha male who nonetheless is assailed by doubts and painfully aware of the consequences of some of his actions. I also enjoyed the fact that although there are regular outbreaks of bloody violence throughout the trilogy – this is not one for the squeamish – those deaths continue to impact on the action, both personally and politically. I like the fact that it mattered when some of the characters died – and went on mattering throughout the trilogy.Once Morning Star found its feet, the plot barrelled forward with Brown’s usual explosive energy. There is also a fair amount of humour running through the story and some moving moments as Darrow strives to hold onto the group of people he has befriended during his roller-coaster progress, though those friendships are constantly threatened by the sense of betrayal they feel at his duplicity. I also enjoyed the dilemma Darrow faces as he becomes the poster boy for the rebellion due to a particular piece of film repeatedly shown to inspire the Reds to rise up for justice. How can he move on from his bereavement and invest in another relationship, when he is defined by his heartbreak and grief?Not that Brown breaks his stride when presenting his character this particular problem – he is too busy creating yet another crushing problem for Darrow to endure. So, did he accomplish a suitably climactic and convincing ending? Yes, he did. It was a fitting conclusion to a really entertaining and enjoyable read – and if you haven’t yet had the pleasure, don’t start with Morning Star, get hold of Red Rising. Pierce Brown is One To Watch.
