Fevered Star (Between Earth and Sky, #2)
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?

0 0Definitely giving major set up only book. I was confused with some character motivations as they felt very rushed, especially with Serapio and Naranpa at the end. Xiala didn’t do as much as I think she was really just being set up for book 3. Her entire plot line seems to be entirely revolved around Serapio at this point which I have mixed feelings about. LOVED Iktan and getting more of xir character. I love this series’ setting so much so even though I felt a lot of it was rushed and set up I still enjoyed reading it very much.
SPOILERY:
I was really disappointed with Serapio and Naranpa’s fight at the end because the whole kindness thing felt SO rushed. I would’ve wanted more build up for that because I’m not surprised it went that route, it makes sense. It’s just we didn’t have the build up for it imo. Would’ve loved some more back and forth encounters or something to set that in place. Also Serapio’s “downfall” I guess to becoming more like the crow god felt like we could’ve had more time with the struggle. Idk! Some of the things he did felt out of character because it felt like he shouldn’t be at that point yet.
