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?

I will read all the bad reviews and some good just to be sure it is worth my time. I resisted for a bit only because I love Dystopian stories, but not necessarily SciFi or Space Operas. This is NOT a YA novel despite the the characters age. He is NOT a Gary Stu, nor does this story to this point jump any sharks. But the biggest point to make with this series is PB's writing style. It is simply poetic. Pierce Brown has convinced me to start reading SciFi now. (less)
