I've been with Pierce Brown's Red Rising Trilogy from the start. I adored Red Rising waited eagerly for golden son and mourned the end of the trilogy with Morning star and I will say I honestly did not expect the ending. I adored the books and I felt the last book was a fast paced action that kept you on the edge of your seat. 
 Darrow has certainly changed from the first and second book but he remains at heart the character we have loved. Old characters return and new characters emerge to become favourite characters. You mourn the loss of some characters and I honestly sat there in shock when one of the characters was killed because WHY! 
 When I found out that there would be a spin of series that are set after these books I was excited and am now eagerly awaiting the release of the first book in the Iron Gold series in 2017! A long time away but alas that's the curse of being a book lover and falling in love with books before they are even published. 
 Okay so what can I say about Morning Star? It was an exhilarating ride from beginning to end. Secrets are revealed and plots emerge. Characters return and take there last breathe and all you can do is keep reading until your on that final page and wondering why the ride must end. I would liken the last book more closely to the second book. 
 And must I say this but SEVRO was one of the most BADARSE characters in the book, he was the goblin we loved from the first book. Ragnar is back in all his glory and I just grew more in love with his character and his friendship with Darrow and Sevro. Jackal was such an awesome enemy that truly kept you wondering what his next ploy was. 
 All I can say that if your reading this review you either need to pick up thr series and read or finish it ASAP!
