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).

Did it take me long to finish this book? Oh, yeah. Do I know why? Oh yes. The whole time I was afraid that Serapio (my favourite character) would die. That he wouldn't survive the second part of this trilogy. Did I try to be rational and tell myself that he is one of the main characters? Of course I did. Did it help? Of course it didn't. It hurt me so much to see how this boy (this vessel of a God) was and became so torn. How lonely he was and how desperate and angry and .... scared. I hated Naranpa for the fact that she would probably kill him - or her god. Cried because gods can be so illogical and irrational, because how can light survive without darkness? Death without life? There is and was so much hatred there, even though they need each other. I was simply afraid. It tore my heart to see Serapio and Xiala separated from each other and to see them longing for each other. How they ... See in each other just the persons they are. Not a Teek, not just a god vessel. Xiala and Serapio stole my heart. I also wish there will be more interactions between Serapio and Okoa ... Okoa has also sneaked his way into my heart. I wish he would call him brother or cousin again sometime. (Even if it's just one last time). My heart bleeds. I want Serapio and his third teacher to see each other; I want Balam to face consequences. I want to know more about the Teek, want to know their islands in book three; their culture. I want so much, and in the end all I want is for Serapio to stop being lonely. Or die lonely. ...
Imagine a spectrum. On one end there’s the Second Book Syndrome, on there’s other there’s this book. While I liked [b:Black Sun|50892360|Black Sun (Between Earth and Sky, #1)|Rebecca Roanhorse|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1601212809l/50892360._SY75_.jpg|61321587] well enough, [b:Fevered Star|57339626|Fevered Star (Between Earth and Sky, #2)|Rebecca Roanhorse|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1625590127l/57339626._SY75_.jpg|89737553] caught me totally off guard with how amazing it was. Diving ever deeper into intrigues and character arcs, I couldn’t get enough of it. The author really has a knack for bringing characters to life, make you feel their emotions and ambitions. My only regret is waiting so long to start this second book, since the ensemble of characters and the politics are quite complex and it took me some time to remember (almost) everything. Good thing I immediately ordered part 3.
