So the attempt to retake the city makes up the main story, but much its predecessor this book is impossible to define by one plotline. The author seems to be pushing against traditional fantasy a bit in this book; looking a little deeper at the caste society she has built, and showing people with completely different reactions to acts and threats of sexual violence. And just to keep it interesting, a rather sweet love story is built through the second half of the book.
I liked most of the new characters. Wanahomen was built to be a Gujaareh prince, and as such struggled between doing right by his conscience and doing right by his people.

We first meet him as a leader of desert nomads who must consistently prove he is not an outsider to them, despite eventual plans to leave them. A strong secondary character was a woman who in a typical fantasy book would have been cast as the jealous ex who makes the new girl miserable; in this book she was the woman who eventually earned the trust and confidence of Hanani.
Scary, but rarely was it hard to read. For the squeamish this book may be a bit harder to get through. As the peace has been shattered by the occupation there is much more bloodshed. While still very good, more things bothered me this time around. The truly unique world was still present, but until the second half the story could have taken place in almost any world; it was a more generic occupation story.
Silhouette in the Shadows
Also, outside of Sunandi the occupying forces seemed comically inept; at no point did it seem they had a handle on the town they controlled. Still, it was a great conclusion to the two book series, and I am so glad to have found the Dreamblood set. Oct 02, J L's Bibliomania rated it really liked it Shelves: adult , reads , fantasy. Some fantasy worlds feature elves and other mythological beings wandering around a pseudo-medieval Europe think Tolkien and all those who have come around and after. There are also fantasy worlds where whole new cultures are developed from a few assumptions about how magic or psychic forces or co-existing non-humans would influence the people.

I loved The Shadowed Sun, even though parts of the story turn on difficult or troubling subjects — the misbegotten product of incest and an attempted rape take key roles in the story.

This is a novel that subverts rape culture, and because of that, very difficult to read.
A coworker and I had a conversation a few days ago about why we enjoy some novels with a lot of violence, and not others say, like those by James Patterson. We came to the conclusion that when the author treats the people who have had violent acts perpetrated against them I hesitate to use the word 'victim' here, for a lot of reasons as human beings, as deserving respect, we're fine with excessive violence.
But when the author uses violence as a plot point, without respecting the characters and the result such violence would have beyond moving the plot forward, we have issues. Jemisin treats her characters as human beings, no matter what happens to them.
They still have choice, agency, and power, though they also have to deal with the repercussions of rape culture. But the novel isn't only about subverting rape culture, not by any means. The novel switches between three main characters: Wanahomen, the exiled Prince of the mad king from The Killing Moon , who now lives with the roaming Banbarra and is trying to muster them into a force to retake Gujaareh from the Kisua; Hanani, the first woman let into the Hetawa, an apprentice-sharer who must prove herself worthy of the Hetawa all the more because she's the only woman; and Tiaanet, the daughter of an abusive Gujaareh nobleman who plots to reinstate a council to rule Gujaareh.
Returning from book 1, occasional chapters are devoted to Sunandi as she tries to remain loyal to Kisua by ruling Gujaareh, even as she sees the Kisua corruption that's leading to revolt. Much like Ursula K.

Le Guin's work, this is anthropological fantasy that deals with how characters adapt to cultural collisions. Power must be wrested on both the personal and the political levels. The novel also explores how people can change for the better when confronted with new ways of thinking, though I still feel much as Hanani's mentor Mni-inh when it comes to Wanahomen.
Overall, I believe I liked this one better than the first. Even though it's been 3 years since I read book 1, I had no trouble following along as the events take place a decade after book 1. The Shadowed Sun isn't a direct sequel of the previous book. It happens ten years after The Killing Moon and, while some characters return, the two main characters are Hanani, the first female Sharer, and Prince Wanahomen, son of the mad ruler from the previous book. Gujaareh is a protectorate under Kausi people. While priests and acting governor Sunandi are trying to maintain piece, various political fractions on both sides plot to either strangle the Gujaareh further or free it from the The Shadowed Sun isn't a direct sequel of the previous book.
While priests and acting governor Sunandi are trying to maintain piece, various political fractions on both sides plot to either strangle the Gujaareh further or free it from the conquerors. In the midst of it all, the mysterious dream sickness spreads through the city, killing its inhabitants with nightmares.
Wanahomen is trying to unite Banbarra tribes to help him retake the city, revenge his father's death and take his rightful place on the throne. The Shadowed Sun is more traditional fantasy, not as inventive as the first book. That is not a bad thing - Jemisin's writing is always on point, her characters unique. I especially liked different portrayals of women - from sexually liberated, enterprising Banbarra women, strong political minds like Wana's mother, to victims.
Trigger warning: One of the side characters is a victim of rape and incest. Descriptions are not graphic and character's story is integral to the plot, but it needed to be said. The comparison between different treatments of women in different cultures was truly perceptive. I enjoyed description of tribal life and customs as well as few visits to the dream world. At the end of the book, most of the plot is resolved, though not always according to characters' wishes. There are more secrets in the past of Hetawa order, more pitfalls that could cause problems for the peaceful Gujaareh society, so I am hoping that Jemisin will revisit this world in the future.
I am glad I found these books and now I have another author to watch. May 29, Stefan rated it it was amazing Shelves: fantasy , advance-reading-copy , far-beyond-reality-review , ebook. Last month, N. Read the entire review on my site Far Beyond Reality! This is fantasy at its best, no other way to put it. For me, this was a one-sitting read, and every aspect of the text—plot, characters, relationships, world-building—drew me further and further into this absolutely amazing story. This book is a companion novel to The Killing Moon , taking place about 10 years after the end of that book.
Some characters do reappear and play a part in the story Nijiri and Sunandi are both in important leadership roles , but for the most part, the focus is an entirely new set of characters, at the center of which is Hanani, the first female priest the city of Gujaareh has ever had. As it stands, Gujaareh is under a foreign occupation the reasons for which would be made clear by reading book one , and after a decade, the people are starting to chafe. There are several interests at play here: the priesthood, the nobles, the occupiers, and the exiled Prince.
Hanani, our primary protagonist, is commissioned by the temple to withstand a trial and save the city after her original trial, which would have promoted her from apprentice, fails.
And, speaking of the failed trial: there is a nightmare disease spreading through Gujaareh. The cast of characters is large, the plot threads are numerous, and the action is intense. And Jemisin makes it all work. To describe this book as compulsively readable is an understatement. Seriously, one of my favorite female characters in fantasy, though I do like Sunandi the main character from The Killing Moon a lot too. Like, here we have this girl who was sold to the temple by her family at the age of six, who has found a home and family among the priesthood, but who is always pretending in order to get respect.
And some part of her realizes this, subconsciously.
