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).

'unreliable narrator' twist. It felt as if the protagonist blatantly lied to the reader somewhat when it happened, which could have been executed better. Considering that with the subsequent events that lacked any consequences alongside a somewhat cheesy epilogue,Graphic: Death, Violence, and War

- 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

Confinement/Suicide Attempt:Spoiler
the protagonist is confined to a tomb-like cell for 9 months in the beginning of the book without light or human contact. He tries to end his life before being abruptly liberated from his cell.Spoiler
most - if not all - of this book is about war and trying to take over certain ships or planets. Close friends of the main characters die by violence throughout the book, as well as millions of unnamed characters.laguerrelewis's review against another edition
