What a delight this was!
I had semi-low expectations because of other reviews from people I follow, but I was pleasantly surprised. Maybe I was just in the right mood.
Black Sun is a steep learning curve, but by the time I got to Fevered Star I was well-versed in the world, its lands, and its clans. The plot sort of settles a bit and is more focused on character depth and revelations, all of which I enjoyed thoroughly. Naranpa has become my favorite. Her character took a lot more agency in this arc, and it was so satisfying to read.
There was also quite a bit of political maneuvering, and by the end all the tension that has been building is clearly set to come to a head in Book 3. ONWARD.
