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. The conclusion to Brown’s saga is simply stellar.When I'm starting a big multi-volume story, one of the big concerns isn't just if the individual books are good. “A page-turning epic filled with twists and turns. as this interstellar civil war comes to a most satisfying conclusion.” - Publishers Weekly (starred review) Brown’s vivid, first-person prose puts the reader right at the forefront of impassioned speeches, broken families, and engaging battle scenes. The impactful battles that make up most of Morning Star are damn near operatic. “ Morning Star is this trilogy’s Return of the Jedi. Everything is on fire all the time.” -NPR
The battle scenes are kinetic, bloody, breathless, crazy. “There is no one writing today who does shameless, Michael Bay–style action set pieces the way Brown does. To win, Darrow will need to inspire those shackled in darkness to break their chains, unmake the world their cruel masters have built, and claim a destiny too long denied-and too glorious to surrender. Among them are some Darrow once considered friends. Darrow and his comrades-in-arms face powerful enemies without scruple or mercy. Risking everything to transform himself and breach Gold society, Darrow has battled to survive the cutthroat rivalries that breed Society’s mightiest warriors, climbed the ranks, and waited patiently to unleash the revolution that will tear the hierarchy apart from within.īut devotion to honor and hunger for vengeance run deep on both sides. The Gold overlords demanded his obedience, hanged his wife, and enslaved his people.
