Book Description

Publication Date: 7 Jun 2012 | Series: Dreamblood (Book 2)

Gujaareh, the city of dreams, suffers under the imperial rule of the Kisuati Protectorate. A city where the only law was peace now knows violence and oppression. And nightmares: a mysterious and deadly plague haunts the citizens of Gujaareh, dooming the infected to die screaming in their sleep. Trapped between dark dreams and cruel overlords, the people yearn to rise up - but Gujaareh has known peace for too long.

Someone must show them the way.

Hope lies with two outcasts: the first woman ever allowed to join the dream goddess' priesthood, and an exiled prince who longs to reclaim his birthright. Together, they must resist the Kisuati occupation and uncover the source of the killing dreams . . . before Gujaareh is lost forever.

There's a truly epic plot, and incredibly well-rounded characters . . . It also has one of the best endings I've read for ages . . . [A] strong recommendation. (TheBookBag.co.uk )

4.0 out of 5 stars Dreaming with the sharers 10 July 2012
By Chris Baker
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
First, read the excellent The Killing Moon: Dreamblood: Book 1 - I'm not sure how easy it would be to follow this sequel otherwise. If you have read The killing Moon, all you need to know is that this is just as good. It occurs 10 years later, and while some characters from the first book re-appear, this story principally concerns the Sharers not the Gatherers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dream(blood) on! 10 Feb 2013
By Steve Benner TOP 1000 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Paperback
Nora K Jemisin's fantasy novel, "The Shadowed Sun", follows hard on the heels of the author's earlier "The Killing Moon". The book provides a stunningly powerful follow-up, with the action set some ten years after the events of the earlier volume. If you have not read the earlier volume, I advise you to do so before starting this one.

While the first volume presented a fantasy world modelled heavily on an ancient Egypt of the Pharaohs, the follow-up story manages to blend in additional aspects of ancient North American Anasazi pueblo people of the Canyon de Chelly in Chinle, Arizona, who dwelt in the canyon before the Navajo, and also builds further on the fantasy dream magic elements of "The Killing Moon". The result is a delicious trans-cultural mix which is both exotic and eminently believable. If anything, the story is even more beautifully woven and constructed than the first one (although some may find the romantic element just a little too cloying for comfort; personally I thought it was well-judged and well-handled). The inventiveness of the first volume is matched in the second by many new ideas and notions and, unlike many sequels which simple rehash their predecessors, "The Shadowed Sun" presents a powerful new story as a satisfying counter and conclusion to earlier events. While political manoeuvring remains a prominent aspect to the story, gender stereotyping and women's rights (and roles) come more prominently to the fore, with a female protagonist who becomes more central to the tale than any of the characters of the earlier work. Tension builds well during the book too; indeed all aspects of the narrative are handled in an exemplary fashion, making the book a joy to read from beginning to end.

The author tells us that this brings "The Dreamblood Series" to an end, for the time being, although I for one -- and I doubt that I am alone -- hope that she will revisit Gujaareh again before too long, for there would seem to be scope aplenty for more stories here.

Highly recommended.

By Mrs. Sharon Meiring-jones
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I am totally hooked on the world Jemisin has created and I love her characters. It's pure fantasy - some of the best fantasy I have ever read in terms of believability and depth. I can't wait to buy the next book from this gifted author.
