2/27/25 - Continued Iron Gold, Morning Star Review

 What's up, feasyheads?

Today was a great day for reading. Is it just me, or at the beginning of a book do you feel bored? Well, I got past that reading slump today, and I'm caught up in two especially of the four stories that are happening at the same time in Iron Gold. There are three or four chapters for each perspective. The perspectives are: Darrow, Lysander, Ephraim (a Gray), and Lyria (a red). Each of them struggle in the new world that the Rising has created, the new Republic trying desperately to keep order while the looming threat of an attack from both Venus and the Outer Rim hangs over everyone.

I must say I had lower expectations for this book out of all the others, because it's the start of a new world, and that might be boring, but the book has proved captivating.

Now for the review and rating of Morning Star I promised I'd do!

Morning Star provides a satisfying ending to the main Red Rising trilogy, all the while keeping the epic space battles and politics and betrayals found in the series. Darrow and his crew are hacking and slashing through the big field of enemies they had, some past friends. Overall the book gets an 8.5 out of ten because it delivered the perfect ending, but it did get confusing to keep track of all the alliegances and betrayals, as with the second book in the series.

The books are amazing and I'd highly recommend them to anyone, especially science fiction lovers! Pierce Brown is jut a very imaginative author that has clearly done his research on the Greeks and Romans, clear references to them in nearly every chapter.

We're almost to the end of the week, feasyheads! Just one more day, pull through!
