Fevered star roanhorse5/24/2023 ![]() ![]() Serapio, himself the product of decades of plotting, needed to get to Tova and to Sun Rock. The characters knew what they wanted and their objectives were clear to them, if not to us. For Naranpa, the politics were life and death and we watched her spin her wheels, frustratingly unable to get traction on her own plans. Tova was brimming with plots between factions in the Tower and among the clans and the clanless, but it felt less important because I knew Serapio was going to turn everything on it’s head. In Black Sun, the political machinations were like the beat under the melody. Okoa is caught between the Crow God reborn, his sister, the new Matron of the Crow clan, and the need to avenge his mother’s murder. Xiala is lost so far from the sea and mourning the deaths she inadvertently caused. ![]() Naranpa wakes up in a tomb, back from the dead and unsure of everything she learned while training to be the Sun Priest. Serapio wakes up with a wound he cannot heal and uncertain of who he is now, having expected to die at the Convergence. Far from the chaos in Tova, Lord Balam murders a thief so that he can walk through dreams. ![]() Very much a middle book, but a very entertaining middle book.įevered Star starts with a murder. The tl:dr version of this review is: I could not put it down. ![]()
