Black Sun (Between Earth and Sky, #1)
by
💖💖
As the start of a series, Black Sun, certainly offers up an engrossing enough plot to keep you invested in the story.
There's Serapio who has been raised for maybe selfish revenge? maybe the fulfilment of a great prophesy....?
There's Naranpa who grapples with what all good people in leadership struggle with being too nice.
There's Xiala who... to be honest I'm not entirely certain of her place in the grand scheme of things in this.
A really good cast with gratifying stories on the whole, I really enjoyed the politics of the Watchers and Sky made, and simply love how the author did not try to paint one side good and one side bad, simply people with various objectives.
I will say I wasn't too fond of how the author structured the time periods simply because I could not really keep it straight in my head but that's just a minor peeve. Also did not enjoy (view spoiler) under minor peeves now.
A bit apprehensive that some parts of the plot will just be forgotten or tidied up messily but haven't read book 2 so fingers crossed it ticks all the boxes for me.
💖💖💖
All in all, a somewhat slow start but a good book in the end for me. I definitely will be reading book 2.

"...Besides, prophecies always have a way of going wrong, don't they? They promise you a savior, but that savior ends up eating babies or kicking puppies or something, and the poor gull who's the prophesied one always ends up dead...Prophecies are a breeding ground for opportunist. An excuse for bad behavior. Can't trust them."
