Mirrored Heavens is the third (and final!) book in the Between Earth and Sky trilogy. If you are not familiar, this is a fantasy series set in what feels like the Indigenous Americas. The book uses multiple points of view to follow the leaders of various clans who are fighting for power. By the time we get to the third book, the real battle is between a few of the gods and their human vessels.
This book (and series) is really, really wonderful. It has it all? Original world-building. A suspenseful plot. Delightful prose. But the strongest point are the complex characters. There are many characters, but not so many as to be confusing. And no one is one-dimensional. You might want to separate them into “good guys” and “bad guys,” but it’s very hard to do. And yet, it all resolves at the end. Ending a series is a tough thing to do well, but this one managed it.
Strong recommend! I think the first book (Black Sun) is the best, but the other two are very very good as well. Totally worth reading, and now the trilogy is done so it’s binge-able as well.

An exciting end to a very unique series. I am excited to read more from this author! There are a few of the characters I wish had more time to be fully fleshed out for their endings, but there is so much about this world and this series that I truly enjoyed

I'm about to look up fan art so aggressively. I loved this series so much!!!!! Incredible setting, incredible world building, cool as hell characters, and an ancient magic system.
A solid end to the trilogy - some happy, some sad, some not-so-resolved (but not in a loose thread way). What more could you ask for?

I wanted more death in the resolutions, too much just okay endings and too many plotlines for a series finale
