Here is my review, with my personal opinions. I have waited YEARS for the third (and last) book in the Between Earth and Sky triology, as Fevered Star came out in 2022 and Mirrored Heavens came out this year. I was a huge fan of the first book, and this series is probably my favorite fantasy series of all time. So my expectations were high when I started reading Mirrored Heavens. 

I freaking love Okoa. I love Serapio, Xiala, Iktan, Balam, Naranpa - I somehow love every character. I probably love even more characters to be honest. They are flawed, angry, unsure and happy - and somehow I was rooting for the bad guys. But who's the bad guy? I still don't know. I thinks that's the point as well - both sides did bad things on behalf of their gods.

I'm still kind of confused by the ending - maybe I should've reread the 1st and 2nd book in the series, but it came as a shock to me. I didn't feel like it made sense, at all. The worst part is that I loved the book and was sure that I would rate it 5 stars - but the last 15 pages was.... not it, in my opinion. I'm sure some people will disagree, but I hate this kind of ending. So many books, movies and series have this kind of ending, and I'm honestly over it. And also... the chance of this actually happening? It's zero.

You have sex, what, 3 times, and get pregnant straight away? And have a kid straight away?

? This ending is definitely controversial.

Many of the POVs and their stories felt... rushed?

Naranpa and Okoas'

stories have very unsatisfying endings, and doesn't get explained or redeemed.

They just get killed off, which is a shame, as their POVs added so much more to the story. Serapio and Naranpas fight aren't even 'seen',

which was also an absolute bummer. Many scenes and plots were skipped, probably because of limitations to getting everything in a 3rd book. The skipping wouldn't have been a problem, if it happened less - but it was pretty obvious when it happened, and towards the end it became apperant that these skips happened quite often.

I rated it 4 stars. I loved everything about it - the characters, politics, plot and twists - but the ending was not great. It honestly ruined my overall experience of the book, which is a shame.

I enjoyed the book and would recommend it, and the series is definitely worth the read. I'm just not a fan of this specific ending, but that's 100% a subjective opinion I have.
