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. Dreamblood DuologyFor more from N. K.

I devoured this with the same rapacity as The Killing Moon. Really I thought it was a more well-rounded story, blending action and romance and worldbuilding in a very pleasing way.

Hanani, the timid but determined Apprentice-Sharer who has broken through the Hetawa's glass ceiling, was a fabulous and very memorable protagonist. I so enjoyed watching her figure out her identity amid so many competing cultural messages.

I still find Jemisin's writing just a little distant, which isn't a bad thing, just a thing thing. While her characters have emotional complexity, she's restrained in how she portrays that depth on the page. In this book I felt like the characters' actions didn't have that "surprising but inevitable" feel that is so common in fiction; instead they were just surprising. Perhaps not unlike real life. (

I liked this book substantially more than the first one. This may be in large part because it is a romance (where the other most certainly was not)!

Jemisin said that the world was inspired by the Egyptians, but that the barbarians are inspired by the Anasazi (Native Americans of Arizona). I'm surprised by this. I would have thought she would have stuck with Arab influences, and looked to the Bedouin.

A lot of the book centers around the balance of power in romantic partnership between men and women. The book might be considered feminist in advocating for a more balanced place (although I don't think you could call it radical feminism).

The dream world is fascinating. Always a rich mine for fiction. (

So well-dome.. ESPECIALLY the ending. Hanani deserves nothing less ♥️ (

Really lovely conclusion to the Dreamblood Duology. What I loved about this one is that it followed a more traditional, linear trajectory than most Jemisin novels, which made for some amazing binge reading. All my previous praise for Jemisin applies to this book as well.

Go. Read. It. !!! (

NK Jemisin is an epic world-builder. She crafts worlds that make so much internal sense that she can then write an entire book about what it means to live in the margins between the communities or not fit into them, and because we get the world so well it makes sense. As someone who loves interstitial spaces, I loved this book about people who are trying to figure out where they fit into the world when they don't quite fit into the previously made boxes (

In the desert

I saw a creature, naked, bestial,

who, squatting upon the ground,

Held his heart in his hands,

And ate of it.

I said, "Is it good, friend?"

"It is bitter—bitter," he answered;

"But I like it

Because it is bitter

And because it is my heart."

—Stephen Crane,

The Black Riders and Other Lines
