The interwoven destinies of the people of Meridian will finally be determined in this stunning conclusion to New York Times bestselling author Rebecca Roanhorse’s Between Earth and Sky trilogy.

Even the sea cannot stay calm before the storm.—Teek saying

Serapio, avatar of the Crow God Reborn and the newly crowned Carrion King, rules Tova. But his enemies gather both on distant shores and within his own city as the matrons of the clans scheme to destroy him. And deep in the alleys of the Maw, a new prophecy is whispered, this one from the Coyote God. It promises Serapio certain doom if its terrible dictates are not fulfilled.

Meanwhile, Xiala is thrust back amongst her people as war comes first to the island of Teek. With their way of life and their magic under threat, she is their last best hope. But the sea won’t talk to her the way it used to, and doubts riddle her mind. She will have to sacrifice the things that matter most to unleash her powers and become the queen they were promised.

And in the far northern wastelands, Naranpa, avatar of the Sun God, seeks a way to save Tova from the visions of fire that engulf her dreams. But another presence has begun stalking her nightmares, and the Jaguar God is on the hunt.

Nominated for the Nebula, Lambda, Locus, and Hugo Awards, winner of the Alex Award from the American Library Association and the Ignyte Award from Fiyah magazine, the Between Earth and Sky trilogy is amongst our most lauded modern fantasy series from The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, and USA TODAY bestselling author Rebecca Roanhorse.

Honestly probably an unfair review.

I love her style of writing, world building, and character development. As an author she is one of the best there right now. But for this book, unfairly to the book. it just felt like she had developed too many characters and tossed aside my favorite pairing which left me wanting more and not particularly enjoying the book throughout.

Outstanding Storytelling

Once again, of course, back in the Camp Circle listening to the story reveal the 3rd part of Between Earth and Sky, and journey back to a time we can now, All Remember. Thank You

Wonderful ending

One of the best trilogies written in a long time. The ending was worth the wait.

Historical mysticism

Beautiful story. Couldn’t wait to start this when it came out. Excellent third book in trilogy.

cast of narratirs and a few characters left me puzzled

Kudos to tge author, the wrap up was good and good fun!
*Spoilers*
I never got why the Teek woman i merited the avatar status of the ocean" mother". I mean Serrapio had to endure so much to receive his powers, tge sun priest had... some trials. In tge end this was an inconsistent mechanic in the world building that never worked for me. Also, did we ever learn why tge steel " lost their song"?

Some will like the various character actors to lend authentivity or perspective to the pov shifts. It drove me nuts. I hated it mainly as there is such a wide range of styles. If the nnarrarators were more similar in tone, pacing, and style this would be less jarring. The concept I get but tge execution didn't work for me.

Lastly, I gotta confess an appreciation to be inclusive to a third gender but the 'sher' and similar references to the pangender characters was, as a listen, awful. I don't have a solution, but in spoken form it was so fkn annoying to ask myself, " was that a she, a sher, a their?' In the end, the attempt to blend the third gender into the others was jarring in listening to the spoken production.

Can’t believe it’s over!!

Such a great series i am sad that it is over but i loved every moment of the journey!! I am now a forever fan!

The Best of the Three

The trilogy is powerful and creative and speaks to the nature of humans. I truly loved reading these books.

Stunning Conclusion

What a satisfying conclusion to a brilliant trilogy! All of the voice actors give amazing performances and the production quality is top notch. Highly recommended!

Vivid and well defined characters

I’m not sure if this is the end of this series but if it is it’s a good ending but I get the feeling there may be more to come. Overall, I love the uniqueness of this setting and the focus on precolombinan South America. I also feel like the characters, their voices, their motives, and their decisions all make sense (even if they are infuriating at times lol). I honestly burned through this book and I was pleasantly surprised that there were moments of genuine tension for me and instances where the plot didn’t play out how I was expecting it (in a good way).

very good

perfect if not for the new narrator added in this book.. he was terrible
