This sequel was a storm of political intrigue, action, and heart. I am super pleased with how much I am enjoying this series so far. Especially with how Jay Posey is executing the story and characters. I think his world building could still use a bit of work but other then that very impressed.
Morningside Fall picks up a year after the events of Three and it plunges the reader straight into the action. Wren is the head of the story this time. Our eight year old has taken on a new role as Governor of Morningside. We are introduced to a slew of new characters like Swoop, Painter, Aron, North, Vye, and Blindfold. We do get to to see some old faces as well. Wren is dealing with a lot especially for an eight year old in this sequel. He is a governor, he is still trying to understand his powers, and he is still being hunted. All this boils down to who does an eight year old trust. Jay Posey does this very well. I think Jay tackles this very well. He never makes it unbelievable. In Three, I had some connection issues when it came to the characters but Morningside Fall had characters I was rooting for right away. Some highlights for me are definitely Swoop, Blindfold, and Painter.
Now let's talk plot, Morningside Fall is an adrenaline Rollercoaster from beginning to end. I enjoyed the story so much, the action was incredible, the political aspects were handled very delicately, and we had stakes. I would go into details but this is a sequel and I am not one for spoilers. Three left off with a really big cliffhanger and I can't even discuss that because a lot of what happens in Morningside is because of those events.
This sci-fi story is taking me for a shocking ride and I am here for it. I kind of went in with no expectations and that was the right call. I would like to recommend this series to people because it and Jay Posey are highly underrated.
