Summary
USA TODAY Bestseller
Return to The Meridian with New York Times bestselling author Rebecca Roanhorse’s sequel to the most critically hailed epic fantasy of 2020 Black Sun—finalist for the Hugo, Nebula, Lambda, and Locus awards.
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 of 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?
Welcome back to the fantasy series of the decade in Fevered Star—book two of Between Earth and Sky from one of the “Indigenous novelists reshaping North American science fiction, horror, and fantasy” (The New York Times) and the “epic voice of our continent and time” (Ken Liu, award-winning author of The Grace of Kings).

Wow!
I finished book one, immediately came to listen to Fevered Star.
These books are fantastic, the story stretches over so many changes and big arcs but you feel intimately involved in every part of it. The person reading is doing a great job keeping you in the book , and there are so many queer folk and Xi/Xir pronouns used by more than one character, flawlessly.
Dying to read the third book! You’ll love this x

Frustrating! Apparently Just a Bridge to Book 3...
As I mentioned in earlier reviews of Roanhorse's original novels, I was blown away by Trail of Lightning and Storm of Locusts. I had VERY high expectations for Black Sun, but was immensely disappointed by the abrupt ending--simply the marketing opportunity for a series. Then, after waiting 18 months to learn what happened, I feel like someone dropped a box of brightly colored puzzle pieces in my lap! Results? Not very much happens in Fevered Star.
And do I care any longer? Not enough for another credit. These unique people, places, and situations would have evolved into a magnificent single epic (with adequate editing). Unfortunately, at the end of this second book, I feel like the author is squeezing extremely hard to create a trilogy. Along the way, casual American profanity sneaks into an imaginary ancient world with its own original curses: "Skies & stars," "Seven hells," "Mother waters," etc.--so what is the point of so many f-bombs and phrases such as, "You look like shit." Really??
Amidst the jumbled scenes and multiple narrators, it takes almost half the book to coordinate the plot: rich and powerful people travel to discuss war plans with other rich and powerful people. "Ordinary" characters who go along for the ride actually have even greater magical powers that they have been repressing. The two truly powerful people who are afflicted by prophesied godhoods inflict lots of damage and watch many gruesome, bloody deaths--then ask, basically, can't we just be friends? No. Not possible, because part three of the trilogy is supposed to happen. And do we have to wait another 18 months to find out whether dark or light triumphs? Sorry, but I am finished. The End.

Amazing World and Top-Notch Narration
Honestly, I read this book in paper while I was listening. I like to read with my eyes the first time I experience a story because I remember it better - I can focus easier (totally a me thing), but the narration of this is so beautiful that I had to do them both at the same time.
I'm dying for book 3 and will eagerly await the audiobook for that one too.

A nice maybe x of myths religions and a rangey geographic cultures. I hope there is another book coming. However, I prefer the books that focus on Diné stories.

love the readers! good story
i love the various readers and their interpretations of characters’ voices. the story is very good. lots of action and dialogue. wonderful world building. as a scholar of ancient and indigenous religions i find it a fascinating and well-researched take on meso and south american indigenous civilizations and mythologies. a riveting continuation of the first book in the series!
