Truly gripping. Mr. Brown has crafted a completely engrossing world, one that I fervently hope he returns to. This latest chapter was brilliantly crafted and is as wonderful a read as any out there. It was worth more than paid for it and will be buying his next book!

Phenomenal!. Unbelievably good! You really, really need to read them in order though. Do not start with this book. Worth the time to read it all. It won’t be nearly as good without knowing the history of the characters.

Fantastic ending. No spoilers. I was nervous about how everything would end with Morning Star. It was a fantastic read and a great ending to the series. One of the best trilogies I have read. Cannot wait to re-read the series again!

Loved it. A fantastic conclusion to a bloodydamn wonderful series!

So good. A completely amazing book. 10 stars.

Amazing. One of my favorite trilogies ever

Amazing. This book was amazing, and the ending was all I hoped for and more.

Excellent beyond words. I found myself unable to put it down. The world Brown creates is complex, believable, and kept me engaged and surprised the whole way. I will definitely be reading all three books in the Red Rising trilogy again :)

Golden ending to a golden series. Pierce you broke the chains on mediocre endings! Thoroughly enjoyed your series, Thanks for sharing with us. Hope the mini series or movie being talked about can happen. I'm sure it will be lost on no one that there's plenty left on the table for another trilogy...

It's literally got everything!. I hope I forget most of the story so I can read it again for the first time!

Bloody dang!. Release my breath!

Great series. Far and away the best series I have read in years.

Great Trilogy. Amazing series. It's like game of thrones, Star Wars, gladiator, and hunger games all rolled into one!

Great conclusion. A very exciting conclusion to the Red Rising Trilogy - with lots of surprises. I wasn't sure how Pierce Brown was going to find a way out of the ending to Golden Son, but find a way he did. Darrow is back and so are the Sons, but neither of them is the same. Things are quickly escalating out of control and plans need to be made to finish this fight. But what a fight it is. Stretching from the far reaches of occupied space, Earth, the moons, and on board the ships - the fighting is everywhere. Some of these battles are quite complex with multiple layers of attack - so make sure you pay attention. Every move is important. Every word has meaning. Every person has their fate (and I didn't like all of them). Darrow ingenuity and way of thinking will be very important and could either win or lose the war for them. The ending was a bit of a surprise. While I had some suspicions it may head in a similar direction, it took quite an about-face at the last minute and left me quite surprised at the maturity of a small boy. I was sad to see the saga end - I have grown to love all the characters and will miss hearing of their adventures and schemes. But the ending was very satisfying as well.

Read it. Somehow he kept the ball rolling all the way through book three. I’ve enjoyed some novels more but not three in a row

Page-turner.... Great end to a fantastic series. Characters are strong and the imagery is powerful.

Great story!. This is the best series I've read in a long time. If you are an alpha, a sheep-dog, you'll love it. The fighting, the characters, the setting, the political intrigue all combine to make a truly enjoyable story. I couldn't put it down.

Yes. Ahhhh!!! I can't wait for more! It's despair, suspense, excitement, and fun. That doesn't even make sense! But it's super accurate for this beast of a series!

Best one yet!!!. I am liking this series.

Absolutely Astonishing. The best way I can think to describe this series is as a true work of art. The exquisite, powerful storyline is accompanied by such an elaborately created and realistic world that you feel as though you have been catapulted straight into the future. This book captures society and humanity in all of its glory and simultaneous frailty, offering profound statements on the world as we know it all while staying ridiculously entertaining and fast paced. The depth of characters and plot is stunning, and the language and sheer writing genius of the book shows that Pierce Brown is a true master of literature. I would recommend this book to anyone who can read.

Great in parts, ok in others.. Great book with parts that make you laugh and others that make you cry. For the most part the book is like this however there are parts of the book that are just ok. Not bad but also not exciting and unpredictable just down the middle. However for the most part 4/5 of the book it is exciting, unpredictable, emotional, and amazing. I recommend.

Great Read. Can't wait for the next offering from Pierce Brown. Well done.

Love n hate. Rollercoaster of feelings, feelings I thought I didn't have inside me! Just finished it, that's why I'm still in shock writing this. Don't recommend the book to people that might have heart diseases, it is as good as the previous ones and the ending won't let u down. Expect to feel a lot of pain! Loved the book! Besides all the cursing while reading

Couldn't put it down. Thanks to all the previous reviews, I bought the series. Spent the past week reading all three books. Enthralling! I would imagine I do not fall into the typical reader demographic of these books as I am a 50 year old woman. I really enjoyed them!

Red Rising Trilogy. Fantastic reading! Can't wait for the movie!

Can’t stop crying.... This trilogy is incredible. I can not put these books down. I’m obsessed with the twist and turns that this story has, following Darrow, Mustang, Seviro, and Cassius has brought me so much joy. I have stayed up late multiple nights just to read this book. EVERYONE.. I mean EVERYONE needs to read these books! This was probably my favorite out of the three and I cannot wait to read the next one! PLEASE MAKE THIS A TV SHOW! I don’t want it to end.

Fantastic. The crowning jewel of the trilogy, Morning Star is another instant classic! This book further develops the characters and gives you a wider, more detailed view of the imagined future solar system.

Tim Hamill. I love novels that create an entirely new world/society/universe and Pierce Brown has done that in his Red Rising Trilogy. The books are fast paced, convoluted, heroic, staggeringly chilling and yet have an emotional depth that pulls at your heart. The characters make you cringe, smile, cry and laugh out loud. I simply couldn’t put this series down and the final book ‘Morning Star’ took me right to the edge!! BRAVO!!

Wow… just wow.. “I would have lived in peace, but my enemies brought me war…” Ending a trilogy is never easy. However, Pierce Brown sticks the landing on this one. With all hope lost, at the end of the line, Darrow of Lykos makes one final stand against insurmountable odds to become the greatest rebel the worlds have ever known. If you’ve come this far in the series, I know it won’t take much convincing. The ending will have you at the edge of your seat, eyes puffy with tears, howling, “Hail Reaper! The red who rose!” Don’t think twice, get this book.

Read. This. Book.. If you haven't discovered the Red Rising series, you are missing out on the most underrated new series in the genre (imo) It's simply fantastic.

Best Series. 6th time reading the first 3 books. Never gets old

Morning Star. I laughed. I cried. I sat tense on the edge of my seat. I fell in love with a host of characters. This trilogy is one of the best in this genre. I cannot wait to see what this author writes next.

Great Trilogy!. One of the best sci-fi series I have ever read! I just finished MorningStar last night and cannot wait for Pierce Brown's next book.

Fantastic. Lots of twists and turns, at times I wanted to scream why! Loved Servo and Victra-all the characters were amazing-am hoping for more!

MUST MUST MUST read series. The series could not have ended in a better way. I love Pierce Brown and the story of Darrow. I wish there were more books in the series!

A good ending. I enjoyed the ending the author wrote. However, I did not always like the path he took to get us there. Perhaps in an attempt to draw connections to the past books, the author repeated certain patterns. Due to that I found myself predicting what would happen several pages, and at times several chapters, ahead of the grand revelations Mr. Brown planned. Despite this, it was an enjoyable read. A part of me will miss Darrow as he was when he stormed Olympus, supreme and untouchable. That moment when he first Rose is one of my favorite moments in the series. For that nostalgia, the author has my thanks.

Holy.... This is the end to a mean. I loved it. Everything about it.

Outstanding. One of my favorite series of all time. Well done, and thank you, pierce brown.

Astounding. You will definitely be desiring to turn to the next page and read all the Trilogy from Red Rising, Golden Son to Morning Star.I wished more sequels would be delivered😭

Love and the pursuit of dreams. Great read that provokes thought.. This volume is a fantastic book. Filled with faith, passion, rage, and the myriad ways that the love of family and friends can transform us into our better selves (if we let it).

Disappointing. The series as a whole is okay, but the third installment, Morning Star, was disappointing. The characters, rather than crystallizing, and becoming themselves with full awareness, seemed so full of angst and self-doubt, that it was more like they were starting out instead of ending their journey. Darrow's constant shedding of tears was perhaps the most ridiculous aspect of the story. I'm sure it was a ploy to humanize him, or let the reader understand how much weight was on his shoulders. Instead of trying to convey the enormity of his responsibilities, he just wept, a lot. I've heard the author compare himself to Tolkien. You've written a decent story, but you couldn't polish Tolkien's shoes Mr. Brown.

A bit anticlimactic for the trilogy, but gives closure.. My rating system: 5 stars are reserved for books that totally blow me away. I don’t give too many of these out, since it is almost like giving the book a 100%. It is nearly impossible to write a truly perfect book. 4 stars for books that I would recommend to just about anyone, or, at least, to someone who doesn’t dislike the genre. 3 stars for books that I would only recommend to someone with a strong interest in the particular genre. 2 stars for books that I would be hesitant to recommend to anyone at all, but the book was not a total disaster. 1 star for books that were so terrible or ridiculous for me that I wish I had not wasted time on reading it to begin with.

The best. This is the best, ever, just read it, enough said.

Repetitive. Well defined characters Repetitive themes

Amazing writing and book. There plot twist at the end was amazing.

Boring. Written really well but just boring. Tired of Darrow going on and on and on about EVERY. LITTLE. THING. I understand he’s the main character but it gets annoying how his decisions and logic are the end all be all in the series. Brown spent way too much time droning on about Darrow’s inner thoughts, emotions, and other crap no one cares about. I was skipping entire pages by the middle of the book and eventually ended up just reading the last chapter and calling it quits. Definitely not as exciting as the previous books. Felt like the story could have been told in half the pages.

Diversity. The book was great and throughly enjoyable, although I did notice a few rehashed scenes from previous installments. Only thing I was a bit peeved about was the forced diversity the book seemed to have. I understand the desire to encourage a larger audience, but the sudden shift in the character roles seemed unnatural at best. I'm looking at Ragnar mainly, however it's still identifiable in many scenarios. It's not really my place to tell an author what to do with his own novel, I just wanted to point out that a little more subtlety would have been appreciated.

Enjoyable read. Fun book, colorful characters and world kept me engaged. I noticed some repetitive pieces in the plot which is why I rated 4 stars.

Finally. Unlike in Red Rising and Golden Son, Pierce Brown finally strikes a perfect balance between his patented breakneck plot pace and softer beats that leave room for meaningful character development. A lot of people say Golden Son is their favorite, but in my opinion this is the best of the first trilogy by a significant margin. To put it simply, he stuck the landing.

Must Read. Fantastic ending! I couldn't stop smiling. Great series; with and ending that puts this book at the top of its game!

OH. MY. GOD!!. I'm not a reviewer of books and I have nothing insightful or thoughtful provoking to write here, but I will say that I love books. Give me a book any day over any other form of entertainment. This series was one of the best I have ever read, kept me guessing constantly, caused me many sleepless nights (just a couple more pages!), had my heart pounding and even caused me to shed a quite a few tears. It had everything you could ever want, it's a thriller, its bloody, its mysterious, it's poetic, it's a love story... It's a bloody damn gem!! I CANNOT wait to read what this amazing author does next! Pierce Brown, you are my hero! And hurry up with another book would ya?! ;)

Hold on for a great ride!. Fantastic twists and turns right to the end of this read keeps you from the mundane tasks of life. A wonderful book.

Holy heart attack on a stick!. This book should come with a warning to have a defibrillator close-by! Although it may be considered typical ‘guy-fi’ (i.e. suspension of disbelief required), the non-stop action takes us on such a thrilling ride that there’s no time or desire to stop and nit-pick details 😂 Most enjoyable book I’ve read in a long time ❤️
