Morning Star, Red Rising Book 3 (Audiobook) - narrated by Tim Gerard Reynolds

What reviewers are saying

Critics and listeners describe this as an ambitious, largely satisfying trilogy conclusion, with Tim Gerard Reynolds again praised for holding a very large cast apart across long battle sequences. Recurring criticisms include reliance on the first two books to be comprehensible, near-continuous and at times cartoonish violence, a crowded cast that is hard to track in audio, and a protagonist whose choices are described as barely better than his oppressors'.

• Kirkus Reviews — Calls it an ambitious, satisfying conclusion with Dune-like layered worldbuilding, while noting it is incomprehensible without the first two books. “Brown is an expert at creating violent set pieces”

• Publishers Weekly — Praises vivid first-person prose and intense battle scenes, but observes Darrow's morally questionable decisions make him barely better than the oppressors he fights. “Vivid, first-person prose puts the reader right at the forefront”

• Goodreads — Readers most often cite an emotionally satisfying payoff and strong narration; common complaints are cast size, relentless battle sequences and some convenient plot resolutions.
