Fevered Star (Between Earth and Sky, #2)

I always get a little nervous about reading middle books. They are tricky things that can sometimes make or break a series. As it turns out, I had no reason to be nervous. Rebecca Roanhorse has delivered a solid sequel to Black Sun.
Fevered Star kept me engrossed from start to finish. I enjoyed learning more about the world and seeing growth and development in the characters. I was especially impressed with Naranpa in this book. She was my least favorite POV to follow in Black Sun, but this book made me appreciate her character so much more. I'm also glad we got a little more time with Okoa in this book.
I think my one complaint would be Xiala's storyline. I adore her, but I don't feel she was given much to do in this book. Other than that, I'm pretty happy with Fevered Star. There was less action in this book and that may bother some readers. I personally enjoyed the focus on the world building, characters, and political intrigue. I think Roanhorse has set us up for an explosive ending and I can't wait for book 3.

Your review closely parallels mine, so I'll just add: I think the most important thing for me was that this story really did stick the middle volume landing, which is so hard to do. The world got bigger, the contrast to Serapio via Narampa now makes sense, and there was little room for fluff. (Unfortunately, also little room for Xialla or, oddly, Serapio himself.)Still, the final volume seems perfectly set-up.
I agree. Fevered Star wasn't a perfect book, but I think Roanhorse did really well overall. I'll have to go check out your review 🙂
Let me know what you think!
