Even after rereading a book, with the exception of grammatical fixes, I tend to leave my first review of a specific book untouched. I don't usually create an updated review on a reread. “If this is the end, I will rage toward it.” Morning Star is an absolutely prime conclusion to the first trilogy in Red Rising Saga, my favorite sci-fi series of all time to date. This review is a copy of the transcript of my video review on Morning Star and Red Rising Trilogy. No one helped them die <- only the ones that have read this will know what I mean by that unless you forgot :-D I could re-read that over and over! And the death of another evil person was pretty good too. I have to say again, the death of one of the evil people was sooooooooooo good. I wanted to slap about a million people just getting to the end game though! Accept Sevro, his wit made the book awesome. The ending was pretty sweet though, I mean I can't deny that and if you have read or do read the book then you will or know what I'm talking about. There was a death that I wasn't happy with at all and I would have traded that death for another in the crew, but that's neither here nor there either. I didn't like how was of the saviors was killed because of stupidity, but that is neither here nor there. They were finally saved about a year later. In the beginning there is a good amount of torture that happened to one of our main characters. Soooooooooooooooooooooooo, I'm not going to say what led me to all of these issues. When I got halfway or a little more than halfway (hell I don't know) through the book I wanted to toss it!Īnd then I wanted to jump into the book with my clones and take them all out!Īnd then the way things were done and the way someone was ripped apart and then the ending I was like okay fine. I see them in my son, and, when he is old enough, I will take him on my knee and his mother and I will tell him of the rage of Ares, the strength of Ragnar, the honor of Cassius, the love of Sevro, the loyalty of Victra, and the dream of Eo, the girl who inspired me to live for me. So whether they wait for me in the Vale or not, I feel them in my heart, I hear their echo beating across the worlds. Eo and Fitchner saw that when I could not. I can be a builder, not just a destroyer. I know that doesn't really makes sense but there you have it. It was so horrible I can't even stand it! And I was a little mad at Mustang for things she did but I also understand too. There were so many parts in the book I wanted to kill the bad people myself. How many more people am I going to fall in love with and then they die or maybe not. How many more of my loves are going to be killed. I'm going to be stressed so much on these next three books. They are one of my favorite trilogies now and we have a saga taking the books farther. Re-reading these books on audio has brought me right into the world where it just got me on the edge the first time I read them. The crew is fighting all of the evil peeps once again and it finally comes to a head. I have to stop loving people in books, damn it! There always are, but I had forgotten on purpose some of the deaths. God!!!!!!!!! This book was so freaking good I can't even people! But there were more deaths. Very much worth your time.įairyLoot Edition!! And then them put together to show the scythe! But (and this is a really important note) while the ziggs the book took were surprising, they were always sensible and fit smoothly into the overall narrative and world. I'm pretty good at anticipating where a story is going to go, and these books constantly zigged when I expected them to zag. The other thing that really stands out is the fact that the books are unpredictable without being irritating or disappointing. And personally, I'm a big fan of complexity. Both in the characters, the plot, and in its morality. But it has a lot more complexity than I'd originally expected. (Honestly, I probably wouldn't have talked about it here at all if it ended as a train wreck.) Meaning that you can read the series confident that you aren't going to get screwed by some "it was all just a dream" bullshit, or something to that effect showing up in the last book. I'm happy to say that this multi-volume work rounds out very nicely. And as anyone who ever watched the Matrix movies knows, the final part of a trilogy can, in effect, go back in time and ruin the previous otherwise enjoyable story. The big issue with a multi-volume story is how the *whole* thing wraps up. (Because a series is different than a multi-volume story.) And it's not just whether or not the books work well as a series. When I'm starting a big multi-volume story, one of the big concerns isn't just if the individual books are good.
