Lots of fun with this one, now that the setting, plot, and characters are established. My only issue with this book was the big battle at the end was so short, but I am happy at the development and am looking forward to the next book!!!!
While I wasn't a huge fan of Black Sun I did read it twice. I needed a refresher before diving into this release and a second chance at seeing if I would latch onto one or more of the characters. While that last part didn't exactly happen, I certainly needed the refresher.
For this installment, I wanted more Xiala. I also wanted more Xiala with Serapio. My favorite paring didn't get enough scene time together in my opinion. It was the best relationship from book one and while it is leveraged here in Fevered Star nothing replaced it or lived up to its standard. However, Naranpa in the back half of the novel stood out, the magic and world expanded just as richly as I would have expected from the wonderful worldbuilding on display previously, and the climax delivers in satisfying ways. The transformations especially brought on vivid imagery and bad ass scenes. Oh, and I love the titular quote:

“We are but fevered stars," he intoned, like an orator on a stage. "Here a little while, bright with promise, before we burn away.”

This might just be one of my favorite fantasy trilogies of all time. I loved Black Sun, and this picks up that story exactly where it leaves off and keeps the train moving. There’s a welcome sense of optimism woven throughout this story that is a direct response to Black Sun’s overall bleak outcome. I can’t wait to see what happens in the next book.

4.5/5
I feel like this book only suffered from middle book syndrome in the smallest way possible. There was definitely a lot of moving characters into places for the last book but given the length of this installment I didn't feel like it lagged in too many places.
