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

Fevered Star follows up the fantastic Black Sun.  Fevered Star, unfortunately, faces the curse that many sequels face, it was not as good as the first book. Roanhorse's writing is fantastic and the world is still as large and wonderful as ever. Fevered Star is something any reader can breeze through. However, the plot did not go much of anywhere. Xiala, Nala, Okoa, and Seraipo POVs were them trying to figure out their place in this unmade world. There was a lot of pondering and little action. The gender-neutral pronouns and sexual fluidity once again surprised me. Roanhorse continues to write these things in ways I haven't experienced on paper before.

Fevered Star is building for something bigger coming in the next books. There does not need to be any foreshadowing to know that there will be war and some major fights coming soon. Black Sun was a simple book about a man on a mission, Fevered Star is about the political machinations of the world we've entered into and how everyone is positioning themselves on the political chess board. I think there'll be LOT going on and moving in the third book. I hope it won't be too much.
