Sci-fi
Morning Star by Pierce Brown is a brutal, emotional end to the Red Rising trilogy.
What I like ✅ Pierce Brown is a master of suspense, fast-paced action and an unrelenting plot
✅ some wonderfully heart-wrenching moments as beloved characters meet their end
✅ Sevro. That crazy Goblin.
✅ Great world-building with the Ash Lord and Obsidian worlds
What I didn't like ✖ Darrow's inner melodramatic monologuing
✖ Mustang is so perfect she's boring
✖ probably the cheesiest epilogue since The Deathly Hallows
✖ important information is withheld from the reader to force a twist ending
✖ shocking reveal after shocking reveal forces the reader to have to suspend belief that so many shocking things could happen to one person Rating 3.5/5 🌟 Verdict
RECOMMENDED What colour would you be the Red Rising society? I'd probably end up a Silver, which isn't so bad!
