Once I finally started on this one, however, I just really wanted to know what was happening.This one is about so many things. I will talk about it as best I can without spoilers. There's a heavy theme of being a fish out of water, getting to know other cultures and unlearning some prejudices. The author is deeply talented at creating a setting and a complex, alien culture that makes sense to the reader and feels believable. Thinking more deeply about right and wrong, and considering that the things that are right within one person's culture can be horrifying to an outsider. There is a lot about gender roles, exploring if a person can take on a role typically seen as belonging to the other gender, while maintaining one's on gender identity.There is a love story between two complicated, emotionally damaged characters who are still discovering their own needs and feelings. It also felt believable to me. There was melancholy in it, but this author does not seem to write typical happily ever after stories.Another major theme in this book, I'd say the most important one, is coping with abuse, and trying to heal from it. Horrific abuse is alluded to in this story, involving a small child, and particularly sensitive readers may find it deeply upsetting. It isn't graphic, but it doesn't need to be to get across the sadness and horror.I have not been so emotionally destroyed by the ending of a book since I gave up reading John Steinbeck. But unlike what turned me away from Steinbeck, not every outcome in this book is negative. There is a great deal of tragedy and sorrow, but there is also forgiveness, understanding, and hope. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Shadowed Sun #NKJforever *by B***Y on Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2019* Seriously, read her stories with a highlighter in hand. Her characters are alive, you will miss them, hate them, cheer for them and yearn for them long after you've finished the story. She also seamlessly weaves relevant, very present themes of social justice into her narrative in striking ways. Some that are obvious, some that will catch you slipping, bringing tears to your eyes. Long story longer, read this author. Everything. Everything she's ever written. This, here, is the second book in the Dreamblood duology. As of 2/16/19, I have not yet begun reading this story because I am still reading the first. And I am excited to get to part two. And I am already mourning the duology's close ("PLEASE NEVER END") ...Ahem. Get this book after you get the first book and read it from cover to cover. Then read yet another book by NK JEMISIN. Never stop reading NK JEMISIN. When you complete all her stories (and essays and blog entries and online stories), read them all again. And don't forget your highlighter! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Oh dreamers *by M***E on Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2018* It’s been probably a few years since I read book one and I was not as lost as I feared. 10 years after the Gatherer Ehiru saved Hananja’s City at the cost of his own life and their occupation by outsiders, the son of the of Prince, gathers an army to reclaim it. But in the City of Dreams, a new sleeping sickness spreads even as the nobility gathers to overthrow their protectors. I loved this story, not least because of poor Hanani, who reminds me too much of myself, and Wanahomen, brave and fiercely loving. I wish I could have followed their story for longer. It’s a shame to let this universe go but it has been a good run. Totally recommend. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.de/products/17035582-the-shadowed-sun-the-dreamblood-2](https://www.desertcart.de/products/17035582-the-shadowed-sun-the-dreamblood-2) --- *Product available on Desertcart Germany* *Store origin: DE* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
