When I finished Golden Son, I didn’t think I could read a book that great again. Morningstar was even better. 6/5 stars, absolutely no notes.

This series grows deeper with every page, and is nothing less than brilliant science fiction. With Morning Star, the trilogy concludes at a breathless pace, leaving Darrow forever imprinted in our minds as a true, human hero. This novel bleeds with emotion, verisimilitude, and dauntless action sequences that pulse with vivid color. Pierce Brown, you're a genius. Excellent work.
