The Shadowed Sun

By: N. K. Jemisin

Narrated by: Sarah Zimmerman

In the final book of NYT bestselling and three time Hugo-Award winning author N. K. Jemisin's Dreamblood Duology, a priestess and an exiled prince must join together to free the city of dreams from imperial rule.

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.

Another excellent novel from N.K. Jemisin

I only wish there were more books by Ms Jemisin and they could all be performed by Sarah Zimmerman.

Another great read!

I love Jemisin’s writing and this in another great story. I love how she wove another captivating story built on the previous book, but it was also very different with new characters to care about. Love the strong female voices in her books.

Another brilliant masterpiece

I always go through withdrawals when I listen to her books. I become immersed in the universes and this book duology is no exception. It’s a beautiful story of exploration, healing, and love.

My favorite Jemisin series

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

There are tribes and magician groups and scheming nobles. There is a wonderful romance.
The tribes are nomadic Arabs, the scheming nobles are from Venice, the magicians and king are Egyptian. That gives you some idea.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Shadowed Sun?

At the beginning there was a incident in the world between magical dreaming and reality. It's haunting.

What about Sarah Zimmerman’s performance did you like?

She does all characters well, women, men, children, in all worlds.
