Throughout the trilogy we follow Darrow on his journey from red to gold to something more. But, in Morning Star we see shift from Darrow as the sole focus. Instead, we find that those around him are also just as important in fixing society. We truly see Darrow grow from a child into a man and this is reflected in his actions.
Be prepared… in this book some of the most loved and most hated character die & others live… or maybe they do both (it’s hard to explain you’ll just have to read it to find out).

- A lot of fighting, as is to be expected of the last book in a YA trilogy
- All the battling wasn't as interesting as I hoped it would be, apart from a few notable exceptions
- Really liked the beginning and the end, but a lot of the stuff in between was just alright
- Maybe I was just burnt out on this series though? I read over 1200 pages of it in two days, wouldn't be too surprising

It kept me engaged and guessing the whole time - just when I thought I knew where it was going, it would go in a completely different direction (but in a completely plausible way).
I'm fairly certain that a large part of my enjoyment was due to how well the audiobook was narrated. Would definitely recommend.

Original read January 2021 - My Cawpile score: 8.07
A great conclusion to the original trilogy in the series even though it wasn't quite the ending that I was expecting!
I wish that Darrow had a lot more introspective moments and that we got to be in on what was going on in his head more often and there were a few things that felt a little bit convenient or a little bit rushed but overall I'm really happy with soooo much of this book. There were so many satisfying moments both character and plot wise!
