Mirrored Heavens brings the Between Earth and Sky trilogy to a close, and I am sorry to see this world disappear. Roanhorse provides a strong, action-packed finale to the series, wrapping up most of the storylines well. Her skill at world-building and character development is on display in this series, and I feel like she did justice to the characters she has created. Do I want more? Of course. But I am content with how this trilogy has closed and look forward to more fantasy of this caliber from Rebecca Roanhorse.

Many thanks to Simon and Schuster Canada, Saga Press and NetGalley for providing me with an eARC in exchange for my honest review. A solid 4.5 stars!!
