In Morning Star, did you enjoy ...

... the intense, high-stakes mission driving the plot?

Dune by Frank Herbert

If you were captivated by Darrow’s relentless pursuit to overthrow the oppressive Golds in Morning Star, you’ll be drawn into Dune's story of Paul Atreides, whose struggle to reclaim his family’s legacy and ignite a revolution against the galactic empire is just as goal-driven and gripping. Both novels are propelled by the heroes’ unwavering dedication to their cause and the immense obstacles they face.

... the cast of complex allies, enemies, and shifting loyalties?

The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch

If you loved the shifting alliances and distinct personalities within Darrow’s inner circle in Morning Star, you’ll relish The Lies of Locke Lamora. Locke and his band of thieves—the Gentleman Bastards—navigate a labyrinth of friendships, betrayals, and found family, creating an ensemble as colorful and morally complex as Darrow’s own crew.

... the profound transformation characters undergo through trauma and rebellion?

The Fifth Season by N. K. Jemisin

If you were moved by Darrow’s evolution from vengeful rebel to a more self-aware leader in Morning Star, you’ll be riveted by Essun’s journey in The Fifth Season. Her personal growth amid catastrophe and revolution is raw and unflinching, offering a powerful exploration of resilience and change.

... the gritty, morally complex protagonists who challenge a corrupt system?

Altered Carbon by Richard Morgan

If Darrow’s willingness to blur ethical lines in the pursuit of justice resonated with you in Morning Star, you’ll find Takeshi Kovacs in Altered Carbon equally compelling. Kovacs navigates a noir world of shifting allegiances and brutal choices, questioning what it means to fight for the greater good when everyone—including the hero—has blood on their hands.

... the vast, epic scale of rebellion and war spanning worlds and generations?

A Memory of Light by Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson

If you were enthralled by the universe-spanning battles, political upheaval, and the fate of entire civilizations in Morning Star, A Memory of Light delivers an epic conclusion to a saga where the stakes are nothing less than the survival of humanity itself. The sweeping scale, multiple armies, and fate-of-the-world drama will keep you riveted.
