Review for Morning Star by Pierce Brown

Morning Star by Pierce Brown

Blurb:

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.

Review:

Ah, the finale to the epic journey that has been the Red Rising Trilogy.

I'll be honest with you guys, this book took me way too long to read. I probably dragged this book out for half of 2016 because - A. I didn't want it to end and B. Stupid Plot Twists! I think at one point I was like nope and just didn't read for a solid month, maybe a month and a half. But it all turned out okay in the end. Phew!

I loved the series and the finale was just as action packed and full of plot twists as the previous books. I adored how the author wrapped up the book. This has been one of the few series where the books have been consistently good throughout the series. Definitely adding to the re-read pile and favourite pile.

Cannot wait to read Iron Gold! It's going to be amazing!
