Morning Star
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Red Rising thrilled readers and announced the presence of a talented new author. Golden Son changed the game and took the story of Darrow to the next level. Now comes the exhilarating next chapter in the Red Rising Saga: Morning Star.
ITW THRILLER AWARD FINALIST • “[Brown’s] achievement is in creating an uncomfortably familiar world of flaw, fear, and promise.”—Entertainment Weekly
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.
Praise for Morning Star
“There is no one writing today who does shameless, Michael Bay–style action set pieces the way Brown does. The battle scenes are kinetic, bloody, breathless, crazy. Everything is on fire all the time.”—NPR
“Morning Star is this trilogy’s Return of the Jedi. . . . The impactful battles that make up most of Morning Star are damn near operatic. . . . It absolutely satisfies.”—Tordotcom
“Excellent . . . Brown’s vivid, first-person prose puts the reader right at the forefront of impassioned speeches, broken families, and engaging battle scenes . . . as this interstellar civil war comes to a most satisfying conclusion.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“A page-turning epic filled with twists and turns . . . The conclusion to Brown’s saga is simply stellar.”—Booklist (starred review)

So I’ll start by saying I thought outside the very beginning the first quarter of the book was a bit of a slog but it really picks up and halfway through I didn’t want to put the book down. By the end this books tension was outstanding and I blew through this pretty quickly. I’ll admit the writing style isn’t always my favorite but when we get to those tense moments the writing quirks disappear and you’re engulfed in the action.

This trilogy started with about five chapters of gorgeous sci-fi writing. Unfortunately, it immediately took a terrible turn and was leaned on the worst parts of sci-fi for a couple thousand more pages. Having said that, if you’re interested in what is basically a novelization of a pretty heroic comic book, then this book is definitely for you. If you’re a fan of sci-fi as a vehicle for literature, then keep browsing. I hate to chew up another persons art, but this seems to be written by AI with prompts that included “good guys never loose, also make it seem like a one season Netflix show”.
