Morning Star by Pierce Brown
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
It’s finally happened.
I just let out a breath I didn’t even realize I was holding!
Morning Star, the third installment of the Red Rising Saga, exceeded all my expectations. My favorite so far!
Pierce Brown is currently battling George R.R. Martin for the title of, ‘Author Trying to Crush My Soul’.
Brown has created a hellishly brutal world. No character is safe. Ever!
Just when you start to let your guard down…
Without giving too much away, as this is the third in the series, the battle against the sovereign continues with The Reaper and his allies trying to disassemble the Color System.
The highlight for me, although there is always a ton of action, is watching the relationship growth among Darrow and his friends.
Particularly Darrow and Sevro, which honestly is one of the best male friendships I have ever read. It gives me life.
At the conclusion to this story, six years has passed since the start of Red Rising, so much has happened. It’s a complicated story and really very impressive.
I am entertained beyond reason and cannot wait to continue, although I will most likely need to take a breather before I start the next book.
Nevertheless, it’s pretty clear that I am low-key obsessed with this series and cannot wait to see what Brown has in store for these characters.
With this story, it could literally be anything!
