4,75 stars. I used to have this as a three star read, because I read it back in the day when I still rated books on one big scale. Nowadays I realize that there's no point in comparing "fun" books with "serious" books because I read them for completely different reasons. It's like trying to use the same criteria for rating a cheesecake and a pizza, just madness.

What I love about The Morning Star are the characters, the world, and the writing. Even with all the ridiculous jamesbond-esque gadgets Shadow has, or the way team Templar seems to be able to bend the law to suit themselves, the writing is just so good that I don't really pay attention to any of that. The author can sell it to me, which is all that matters.

These books are so much fun, even when they take a turn for the serious, and I'm going to be continuing on to the next one right after I've finished reading all the extras between Morning Star and Double Down. ( )

White:
- It's like mission impossible! But with mm action!
- Action and fancy toys.
- Funny group. Side characters are lovable.
- It is not sex-sex-sex.

Grey:
- That was interesting, maybe it needed a bit more of romance.
- Couldn't see how they 'clicked'
- Well, the action plot was ok, I guess, even if it had the predictable things of every action movie.

Black:
- Was that a mini rocket launcher? really? how does that work? Don't let me get into physics..
- And then, how big was the launch room? I don't think being there was possible.
- It needed more action! if-you-know-what-i-mean.
- I'm not even sure if suction cups work that well.
