communi_kateBook Review: The Shadowed Sun, by NK Jemison
I won a copy of SS in a competition on![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kateelliott 's livejournal for writing a review of The Killing Moon, the first novel in Jemison's Dreamblood duology. So It seemed fitting to review the second book as well.
It's no secret that I'm a big fan of Jemison's work, and Shadowed Sun has got to be my favourite of all her novels so far. If you have it at your library, go pick up a copy. If you have it at your local bookstore, get two. Seriously. There are ninja priests,* people, It don't get much better than this.
*There's also a neat analogue of Berber/Anasazi culture, some nifty debate upon the ethics of mercy killing. and a family that make the Lannisters look relatively well-adjusted. These are also good reasons to read it, although not as good as the ninja priests.
