My thanks to Gallery/Saga Press, the fantabulous Rebecca Roanhorse and Netgalley.I've been sitting on this review and just thinking about the story for days. Simply, days! This is not a review. Anyone who reads my mumblings knows that I never review! I give thoughts or feelings. My first thought is that this second book doesn't suffer from the dreaded "middle book syndrome!" Heck! I loved this one as much as I did the first book.There are many character's to love, hate or feel ambiguous about.
3.5Man, I’m sad. I didn’t love this. Black Sun ends so abruptly and this picks up where it ends. I wish that the beginning parts of Fevered Star were the end of Black Sun. Fevered Star really is just moving characters into place for book 3. Lines are being drawn, alliances formed, and people traveling to different places. It was fine. Not enough Serapio or Xiala. Too much Narampa. Sigh, I wonder if this is a trilogy ?
i wouldn't have minded if this book were 300 pages longer. it's an unexpectedly quick read!i love the characters so much idc what they do they're perfect to me. tbh one character gets a whole star just for existing. aside from my beloved charming characters, the ambitious political set up and atmospheric setting make for a good sequel. the worldbuilding is excellent, as expected, and i really enjoyed reading more about this world. it honestly couLd be a better sequel, but hey as long as i get to...
COVERafter the beauty that was the cover of black sun, I'm disappointed by this cover:(((((((((((((((((((
second book syndrome? we do not know that bitch and we don’t associate with her here.black sun was dark brilliance — a heady rush into this fantastical, magnificent, and immersive world of old gods and strange power whilst knowing something terrible was coming. and this one was more of a steady, forward march towards inevitable, difficult outcomes with clear eyes. the plot twists made me lose my mind. people can say all they want about this one, but i fucking loved it. sorry (not sorry) if you d...
Fevered Star is the middle novel of the trilogy and thus is neither a beginning nor an explosive conclusion. It features no great battle and rather is concerned with moving the pieces on the chessboard and setting them up for the conclusion. It is at root a fantasy novel, set in a world of many clans, living in an uneasy truce, of blood, of power, and of the magic of gods reborn. Three main characters populate the story with a few other narratives as well. The main three though, Serapio, Xiala,
4.5 stars - It should be noted on the front end that BLACK SUN is one of my all time favorite books, period. So I'm kind of in the tank for this book coming into it. I will also concede that the pacing in this one is not as strong the first book. That said... I LOVED THIS SO MUCH AND IT WAS EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED!! Ugh, I just love Rebecca Roanhorse's imagination and combined with her style of storytelling & the kind of tropes/character types she tends to write. It is so dark and twisty but still...
... now what? 😭😭
4.0 StarsThis was an engaging sequel with strong worldbuilding, character work and exciting plot developments. I did not love this quite as much as the first book, but still a strong continuation. I'm looking forward to the next book.
3.5/5just like with black sun, i have extremely mixed feelings for fevered star - some things i loved and others...not so much.pros:- the worldbuilding is as incredible as ever and i love the way it expands in this book - we get more insight into places outside of tova, namely cuecola and hokaia, and a more detailed history of what ties them all together, which i found fascinating. i'm especially intrigued by the spearmaidens of hokaia and i hope we get to see more of them in the future.- the po...
This book has quite a different feel to it than the first book; it is less dark, much more character focused and is mostly based around the political scene. It really helps you get to know all of the major players better and sets the world up for what I'm predicting will be an explosive third book. Fingers crossed!! I ended up feeling for and understanding the characters so much more by the end. The only character that I liked less in this book was Xiala; she did start to get better at the very
MY. BODY. IS. READY.
“Peace cannot last forever. Time change, and it is better to be on top than to be crushed at the bottom” *Clutch my heart* now i finished the book the realization came: i need to wait for probably more than a year for the next installment aka the final book T___TNow let me start this review by saying “Black Sun” is one of my favorite read this year! Handsdown a 5 STARS quality read for me…. I love it from page 1 until the end, this sequel didn’t disappointed me but it feels like it suffers b
I can’t wait to read this but also I hate this cover so much omg
