Having only recently finished Morning Star, I was more than happy to return to the world of Red Rising ten years in the future. I didn’t expect to embrace the new viewpoint characters so quickly as I did – I loved Ephraim and Lyria especially. I almost feel like it would have been good to have other POVs in the first three books now. Darrow himself was, well, not very likeable in this book but I don’t think he was supposed to be. His actions, and that of most of the characters in this series, have always been morally grey and he definitely got darker and darker here. Anyway, a really great book and I’ll be going to the library to pick up the next two books asap!
