A Goodreads user asked this question about Morning Star (Red Rising Saga, #3):

Don't take this the wrong way, it's just a question. Red Rising is an "Over hyped" book I avoid because I have been a victim of hype several times. Not only that, but from other reviewers, Darrow is a bit of a Gary-Stu. He's perfect. While the premise for the trilogy is interesting, I am very apprehensive about reading it. Should I? Or do I just not read it?

Kenneth I agree with you. Darrow is perfect. Just like many other lead characters in this genre. Underdog with humble beginnings, rising star, does not trifle…moreI agree with you. Darrow is perfect. Just like many other lead characters in this genre. Underdog with humble beginnings, rising star, does not trifle etc... Someone responded that he is imperfect but I find his 'imperfections' perfect imperfections. LOL. To me, he's just a cliche. You know the outcome no matter what. The world build is beautiful though and the plot even though not new was told in a very interesting way.(less)
