Jemisin, N.K. - The Shadowed Sun
Wed, Oct. 10th, 2012 12:19 pmBook two of Dreamblood (first book is The Killing Moon)
This is set about ten years after the events of The Killing Moon, and while it's nice to have read the previous book for worldbuilding, I don't think it's necessary.
( Trigger warnings )
( Spoilers for TKM )
In conclusion: I didn't enjoy the plot nearly as much as TKM, but I love the world in Dreamblood, and it was great being able to see more of it. The ten-year span between the books helps as well; Gujaareh of TKM is not the same Gujaareh of this book, and I am very fond of "what happens a long time after" stories.
