Morning Star

The third in a series : Red Rising, Golden Son, Morning Star. Overall, I enjoyed the story. The pacing was a little uneven, but still enough ups and downs to be interesting. This installment felt more battle heavy, and those are just not interesting to me. Between battles, drama and character development kept me engaged. Thankfully, Pierce Brown was able to end the story in a way that wasn't too neat and tidy to be unbelievable.

In the background of this series are huge philosophical questions about race, class, effective governance, loyalty, and honor. Some of it is superficial, and some is pretty deep.

The whole series is worth a read, especially for science fiction fans. I'd recommend this to readers in high school and up: be cautioned for gory violence, poor language, and some mature sexual content.

I'm looking forward to great things from this author.
