All her life, Spensa has dreamed of becoming a pilot. Of proving she's a hero like her father. She made it to the sky, but the truths she learned about her father were crushing. The rumors of his cowardice are true - he deserted his flight during battle against the Krell. Worse, though, he turned against his team and attacked them.

Story
Roshar is a world of stone and storms. Uncanny tempests of incredible power sweep across the rocky terrain so frequently that they have shaped ecology and civilization alike. Animals hide in shells, trees pull in branches, and grass retracts into the soilless ground. Cities are built only where the topography offers shelter. It has been centuries since the fall of the 10 consecrated orders known as the Knights Radiant, but their Shardblades and Shardplate remain: mystical swords and suits of armor.

For a thousand years the Lord Ruler, the "Sliver of Infinity," reigned with absolute power and ultimate terror, divinely invincible. Then, when hope was so long lost that not even its memory remained, a terribly scarred, heart-broken half-Skaa rediscovered it in the depths of the Lord Ruler's most hellish prison.

From the Audie-nominated narrator of The Martian. In eleven years' time, a million members of an alien race will arrive at Earth. Years before they enter orbit, their approach will be announced by the flare of a thousand flames in the sky, their ships' huge engines burning hard to slow them from the vast speeds needed to cross interstellar space. These foreboding lights will shine in our night sky like new stars, getting ever brighter until they outshine even the sun, casting ominous shadows and banishing the night until they suddenly blink out.

There Eddard Stark of Winterfell rules in Robert's name. Far to the north, behind the towering Wall, lie savage Wildings and worse - unnatural things relegated to myth during the centuries-long summer, but proving all too real and all too deadly in the turning of the season. Yet a more immediate threat lurks to the south, where Jon Arryn, the Hand of the King, has died under mysterious circumstances....

Michael J. Sullivan garnered critical raves and a massive readership for his Riyria Revelations series. The first book in his highly anticipated Riyria Chronicles series of prequels, The Crown Tower brings together warrior Hadrian Blackwater with thieving assassin Royce Melborn. The two form a less-than-friendly pairing, but the quest before them has a rare prize indeed, and if they can breach the supposedly impregnable walls of the Crown Tower, their names will be legend.

Publisher's Summary
Darrow would have lived in peace, but his enemies brought him war. The Gold overlords demanded his obedience, hanged his wife, and enslaved his people. But Darrow is determined to fight back. 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.
Finally, the time has come.
But devotion to honor and hunger for vengeance run deep on both sides. Darrow and his comrades-in-arms face powerful enemies without scruple or mercy. Among them are some Darrow once considered friends. 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.

Inside an insecure hero's head
The first 2 books were very good, that made Morning Star a sore disappointment. The story is no longer appealing to a mature audience, as if takes a sharp turn to YA at its worst. The story starts in the crazed head of the main protagonist being tortured and in delirium, and it seems like it never gets out of it!
You have to bear listening to the constant mood swings and insecurities twirling in his head. This moment's cunningly clever hero, is just an adolescent boy 20 seconds later. Also, there are constant reflections about the past events and characters long gone and forgotten "after academy".
The performance is good but slow, I had to speed Audible's speed to 1.25x to avoid the boring storyline.

Nobody left to root for
I loved the first book. I liked the second book. Will not finish the third book. I’m done at the end of chapter 57. Brown’s propensity to kill off main characters bothered me but I kept slogging through. Not anymore. Reality in this world is too depressing to want to escape to this one where every once of compassion and friendship is met with a knife in the back. When you kill off all the lovable sidekicks you destroy the story. On a positive note, Tim Gerard Reynolds is great as usual and the reason I stumbled upon this series.

The end....or is it?
Like previous installments of the red rising trilogy this book has plenty of bone crushingly depressing moments and spine tingling exciting twists, only more. The author continues his go-to style of waxing poetic to the point of making the reader consider suicide, then moving at breakneck speeds around plot twist corners so sharp you cannot see them coming. Overall very good but the end leaves one filled but wanting, like dessert with out dinner, as almost all loose ends are tied up with the largest left unsatisfactorily unresolved, (spoiler alert) ----will it all descend into chaos now that the society has been broken. To really do justice to the readers another book is needed, a mature, well thought out discourse on the political ramifications raised throughout the series.----

I wanted to love it....but
I really wanted to like this series...... but oh my I just wanted to slap them, so predictable , lower class people find hero, he rises in the ranks to become top Hero, he makes friends, lose his friends, always has a positive attitude always thinks the best of everyone gets stabbed in the back over and over and over again all three books same situation , he gets one step forward and he get knocked back two steps , it was everything I could do to get through book 3 .
I do believe the narration was one of the best I've heard lately but the story I can only give two stars, just wasn't my cup of tea .

It doesn't get much better than this!
This series broke my heart a million times. It made me forget what I was doing and tune out the world. It made me hold my breath and laugh out loud. This is some seriously good writing. I'm normally not a Sci Fi girl but I'm so glad I tried this out. The world is expertly crafted and I fell in love with the characters. I feel like they are my friends and I'm sad that it's over.
I highly recommend this to anyone who loves an excellent story with believable characters who are flawed and imperfect but make you love them, forgive them, cheer for them and cry for them.
Tim Gerard Reynolds is also one of my favorite readers (why I got this book in the first place actually, along with a good review from someone I follow) and he did an amazing job, as always.

Good concept. Didn't like the execution.
I thought that this series started strong with an entertaining premise and a speedy pace. However, I felt like it never came together and got progressively worse as the story continued.
I guessed that it was rushed to print because the continuity and world building was confusing to me and I sensed the need for better editing.
Then again, if you liked the Hunger Games, you might like this series. I did not like either.

A series of idiotic decisions.
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
I think the author just ran out of ideas at the end. I wanted to like this book. But when the protagonist keeps falling into the same idiotic traps making the same wrong decisions with SOMETIMES THE SAME F******** people.
Which character – as performed by Tim Gerard Reynolds – was your favorite?
the narrator was flawless!
What character would you cut from Morning Star?
All the stupid decisions. Make bad hard to overcome circumstances. And make it hard to overcome. Not seemingly hard to overcome situations that are somehow easily done. Then a huge debacle of juvenile decisions

just brilliant!
I'm left feeling bereft after going on the often heartbreaking, action packed, twisting, messy yet beautiful journey with Darrow through this trilogy. A new favourite and more mature and vast in its scope than many dystopian novels. Gritty yet touching with moments of humour that made me laugh out loud (something I seldom do when reading). The audiobook narration is great and adds rather than detracts from the telling although frustrating when I was literally gripping the edge of my seat wishing I could speed through to find out what's next.
if all that isn't enough to tempt you to read then know I rarely leave reviews but these three truly deserve all the accolade and I'm just sad it's over.

I've loved this trilogy, listened to all 3 in one week. The story is captivating and fast paced, but I never got lost. The narrator does an excellent job. highly recommend, this (I believe) transcends across genres, well worth a go even if you don't traditional enjoy sci fi fantasy, there is far more here!

A rare treasure!
What a magnificent trilogy! I was completely enthralled from beginning to end and felt every single emotion imaginable inbetween. I was initially discouraged with the 'space/sci-fi' concept but they are genuinely one of the most gripping stories that I have ever known; an identifiable concept despite the alien backdrop. Truly engaging characters, wonderful narration and non-stop excitement - I cannot recommend the entire trilogy highly enough. Tremendous!

Not the most polished....
Near the end the main characters make a stupid move that backfires(releasing prisoner they shouldn't ever trust) so I feel like they should really reap what they sown for their utter stupidity... Then an hour or so later the dead comes back to life, and I'm rolling my eyes, cause it's just stupid and I don't care any more whether they live or die... But then at the very end quality comes back and it has a nice ending.
This one also has some elements I personally don't like, but can't really say here...
As for performance: the audio quality is sometimes inconsistent. Not bad, but I've seen better...

Morning Star
Pierce Brown is an engaging writer; Tim Gerard Reynolds is a brilliant narrator. I recommend this trilogy to any dystopian science fiction fans. It had me gripped from the very first word. I'm looking forward to the final two books and then I can't Imagine what I will listen to. Thanks to Pierce and Tim for filling my leisure hours with such intrigue.

Darrows actions often makes no sense
Several times during the book the actions of Darrow doenst make any sense and would never work in the real world, but does here simply to move the plot forward in the way the author wants. This is while completely disregarding any sort of realism or being grounded in any sort of logic. The result being Darrow does things that are insane or stupid and they work out because plot armor, its often so full of holes or a miracle(the bad kind) that it would actually work vs how like it would have been to be a complete failure. This lack of being grounded in any sort of realism was a total turn off for me and ruined the book. I would have added examples but I do not want to give away spoilers.

A perfect ending
Any additional comments?
I don't know how Pierce Brown manages to confuse, horrify, trick, depress, and overwhelm you with happiness all at the same time. The third instalment of Darrow's mission continues with all the action and humanity of the first two books. You will not want to turn this off, be warned! The narration, as always, is golden.

Arguably the best trilogy I have ever read.
Awesome characters with genuine depth, as a narrator Tim is spine tingling. as a writer, Pierce is a Jedi Master. As for the upcoming movie, I feel like I felt when I read that an eccentric director called Peter Jackson had aquired the rights to LOTR. As the source material was so good and so special to me I was petrified it would be slagged up. Thankfully I couldnt have been more wrong. Bloodydamn read it and break the Chains!!!

Loved the series
Loved it but needed Tissues.... driving to work with tears streaming down my eyes.
Outstanding Narration, had me holding my breath, brilliant.
There is one more book but can't listen yet, the ending to the third book could have finished the series beautifully, i was so invested in the characters i can't cope with anyone else dying so will maybe lusten to the fourth once i have recovered

Too long
i did struggle to complete the last of the trilogy. Too much fluff. This book was just ok but trilogy overall was very good.

Heartbreakingly beautiful.
Honestly, i'm so upset that this book series is over.
I've bonded to every single one of these characters, I laughed and cried with them, and felt true sorrow at certain points in this book.
The Author writes life into these people.
Pierce, you bastard how dare you make me love this book so much.
I'm going to go back and listen to the whole series again, and when i get the money, i'm going to get hard copies.
If any of you have doubt's about the series, please don't the books are a true spark of the imagination.
Pierce, you've just earned yourself a life long fan, and i look forward to your future work.

the series became boring after book 1
the narrator is great, but the book is ever more boring than the 2nd one, with a predictable ending. only finished it because of how well received the series were, but the author ran out of good ideas after book 1
