Definitely suffers from middle-book syndrome
By Bob Milne
With Morningside Fall, Jay Posey's Legends of the Dustwalker saga is beginning to remind me of Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn Saga. Both series started off strong, with first novels that really impressed me with their imagination and their storytelling, and which guaranteed I would keep on reading. Unfortunately [minor spolier here], the second volume in both series suffers from the absence of the protagonist who made the first book so compelling.

That absence made this a frustrating reading experience for me. The world building was taken to the next level, the threat of the Weir was far better explored, and we finally get something of a primary antagonist in the final portions of the book. In addition, the writing was just as solid as it was in the first book, contributing to an enhancement of the overall atmosphere. There really was a lot to enjoy and appreciate here, but Wren is no Three, and that's a very big 'but' indeed.

I didn't like Wren much in the first book, and I didn't come to like him any better here. He's too innocent, too precocious, and too vulnerable. I wasn't necessarily looking for him to stand up and become a hero, but I was hoping he would serve some purpose other than to be the typical kid who needs to be rescued. He just rubs me the wrong way, leaving me exasperated and anxious to move on to the next scene that doesn't center on him. As for his mother, I really liked the darkness and the edge of Cass in the first book, but at lot of that seems blunted here. Sadly, it seems as if she's just not as interesting without Three there to challenge her on a personal and intellectual level.

It's not a bad read, and the last 100 or so pages are worth sticking it out for, but it was a long, slow, difficult read getting to that point. I found myself skimming in places, and getting tired of all the walk-on auditions to replace Three as Wren's guardian. Morningside Fall definitely suffers from middle-book syndrome, adding to the issue of trying to replace a protagonist, but it ends with enough promise to make a third book a likely-to-read, if not quite a must-read.

The Short Review

I really liked this book. It has a lot to offer, and I think it’ll appeal to a very wide audience. It has the action and adventure I associate with a good western-themed novel, and it also has some really interesting science fiction and fantasy elements. I found the front end of the book to be a little slow, but once it takes off, it’s a real nail-biter.

This is a 4 to a 4-1/2* novel, in my opinion. Almost ranked up there among my favorites, but not quite.

The Long Review

Before I begin the actual review, I want to make a note for potential readers: Read book one, Three, first. If you’ve already read Three, you might want to consider re-reading it before diving into Morningside Fall. I know some readers will happily dive into the middle of a series and figure things out as they go, but this novel has a good number of references to Three.

This isn’t a bad thing. Jay Posey doesn’t spend a great deal of time covering old ground. I like this about the novel, because I get frustrated when there is too much exposition regarding what happened in a previous novel. Some readers might find this disconcerting, however.

I’m going to start with the one thing I viewed as a flaw in this book before I wax eloquent about all of the things I really enjoyed about this novel.

I found the start of this novel a little slow for my liking. It took me a couple of chapters before I really got sucked into the story.

Part of this is my fault.

Wren is a young boy–younger than ten years old. He’s in the unfortunate position of being Governor of Morningside. This dichotomy of age, role, and maturity level threw me for a loop. Sometimes, Wren is exceedingly mature and wise for his age. It strained my suspension of disbelief quite a bit. Then there are the moments where Wren acts exactly like I expect a child of his age to behave. This also exists in Three, though I found it was to a lesser extent.

I don’t usually read a lot of books where one of the heroes of the novel is so young–especially as a POV character. But, Posey does a really good job balancing these bursts of wisdom and maturity with Wren’s behavior as a child. Wren has circumstances, and a lot of them.

He’s a good character.

It just took me longer than I like to get behind him and get used to how he is portrayed in Morningside Fall.

With the exception of my personal issues with Wren, the characters in Morningside Fall are what really make this novel stand out. They’re different. They’re unusual. They are interesting. Posey’s portrayal of all of the secondary characters is what really brought this book together.

When combined with the plot, featuring problems created by the characters and problems from outside influences, it’s a really powerful combination. After the first quarter or so of the book, it becomes a real nail-biter. It took me several sittings to finish the book, and the closer to the end I got, the grumpier I got about having to go to bed. I ended up losing a lot of sleep one night to finish because I couldn’t go to sleep wondering what would happen next.

I like when a book does that to me.

What really drew me to this book was the mix of elements. It’s post-apocalyptic. It’s a western in styling. It’s science fiction–sometimes rather hard science fiction. It’s a bit of a fantasy, too. The blend of fantastical elements with the science fiction ones, which are in turn harnessed to the western post-apocalyptic setting is a matter of brilliance on Posey’s part. The setting is a character, and by the time the novel ended, I felt like I had walked through the desolation right along with Wren and the other characters.

In closing, I want to mention one more thing: I specifically avoided spoilers telling what this story is about. This is the type of story where I feel spoiling the events–even the little things–will really take away from the reading of the book. Little things matter in this novel, and the impact of a single conversation or a small event is often huge.

This is definitely a book I’ll re-read again. I recommend it for anyone who enjoys a young hero, an action adventure, science fiction, post-apocalyptic, and soft fantasy. I think because this novel so seamlessly melds these elements together, it’s a great introduction series for those wanting to try a hybrid novel out.

Morningside Fall defies genre in all of the right ways. This book isn’t quite one of my absolute favorite novels out there, but it’s close — 4 to 4-1/2 * close.

Recommended.

Note: I received this novel as an ARC from Angry Robot Books for reviewing purposes.

A great follow up to Jay Posey's debut, Three! This is a must read!
By David Mooring
If you liked Jay Posey's first book, Three, - and from the looking at the reviews, most of you did - you will like Morningside Fall. His writing style continues to intrigue and captivate, pulling you into the story and bringing the characters to life. The plot is unpredictable and Posey does a fantastic job of setting the tempo and pace of the story.

I continue to enjoy Posey's style of dialogue and character development. The characters seem true to life and I feel like I know each of them - their demeanor and nuances, their strengths and their flaws. Unlike Three, I don't feel like there's one primary hero or heroine, but that's also true to life, and gives the story a sense of reality.

The world remains a mystery, and I like that. It's not about the world, it's about the story, the characters, the overarching themes. Morningside Fall is a great Book 2 of 3, and does an excellent job of setting up the third installment and conclusion to the Legends of the Duskwalker Trilogy.

It's not as much of a quick-read as Book 1, but the slowed tempo through the middle of the book provides a fantastic payoff at the end. And by fantastic I mean an agonizing wait for Book 3. As with the conclusion of Three, I look forward to more. A lot more!
