Title: Fevered Star

Series: Between Earth and Sky

Author: Rebecca Roanhorse

There are no tides more treacherous than those of the heart. —Teek saying

The great city of Tova is shattered. The sun is held within the smothering grip of the Crow God’s eclipse, but a comet that marks the death of a ruler and heralds the rise of a new order is imminent.

The Meridian: a land where magic has been codified and the worship of gods suppressed. How do you live when legends come to life, and the faith you had is rewarded?

As sea captain Xiala is swept up in the chaos and currents of change, she finds an unexpected ally in the former Priest of Knives. For the Clan Matriarchs of Tova, tense alliances form as far-flung enemies gather and the war in the heavens is reflected upon the earth.

And for Serapio and Naranpa, both now living avatars, the struggle for free will and personhood in the face of destiny rages. How will Serapio stay human when he is steeped in prophecy and surrounded by those who desire only his power? Is there a future for Naranpa in a transformed Tova without her total destruction?

The next round with the crew of the Between Earth and Sky!

Xiala, a ships captain who can control the water with her Song,
~ Nara, the Sun Priestess,
~ Serapio, a man who has been told he will be a god,
~ Okoa, the Crow Clan matron’s son, trained warrior.

A lot of devastation happened at the end of Black Sun so I wondered where this book would take us and also the characters in their new directions.

It was really good but the pacing did feel off in some places. I don’t really want to say more about the plot or even the characters because you need to journey with them and experience it!

Xiala is still my fave (totally rooting for Xiala and Serapio!) which brings me to names….I read book 1 but listened to book 2 and realised I had totally been mispronouncing some names wrong, was an eye opener!

Can’t wait for book 3!
