A triumphant expansion and continuation both

I especially like where this magic system is going. Elements of the maw borrowing from a plethora of other media yet asserting a distinct essence. Some suspension of disbelief required regarding the proper treatment of stab wounds, assuming the goal is not to bleed to death. CN for intrigue leaning unnecessarily on suicidal ideation, moderate gore.

reviewed Fevered Star by Rebecca Roanhorse (Between Earth and Sky, #2)

Well written, but darker and more violent than I'd prefer

4 stars

This book is a well written sequel to the first book in the series. The character development rounds out nicely and the plot moves in interesting new directions. However, I found that the things I disliked about the first book were amplified (or maybe just noticed more) in this sequel. Its an objectively good book, but to be honest I feel kind of relieved to be done with it. Not sure if I'll continue with this series when the sequel comes out.
