Thank you to Saga Press Books for the gifted e-book.
When I first laid eyes on this book, I wasn't sure if it was going to be my thing. But as soon as I started reading, I was completely hooked! From the very beginning, the author set up the characters and their stories with incredible skill.
The way the multiple storylines of Narampa the Sun Priest, Xiala the sea captain, and Serapio the alleged villain were interwoven was nothing short of amazing. Each chapter builds the backstory for these three characters, and the world-building of the different areas and clans of the Meridian is just fantastic.
The political intrigue and magical aspects only add to the book's overall appeal. The ending is both satisfying and leaves me wanting more. This book is definitely worth checking out!
This is the first book in the Between Earth and Sky trilogy inspired by the civilizations of the Pre-Columbian Americas. I immediately want to read book 2, Fevered Star and book 3, Mirrored Heavens, which will be released on June 4, 2024.
If you love fantasy, I highly recommend this book.
