Happy Release Day and Captains' Log
Quotes:
“The very best kind of sequel: as lush and evocative and true as the first, with all the same sense of mystery, giving us the world and characters we already love, and yet with a new story and a wonderfully new perspective on the whole dazzling world and pantheon the author has built.” -NYT bestselling author, Naomi Novik
“New authors often falter when following up on a noteworthy debut, but Jemisin proves more than up to the challenge.” -Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
“The second in Jemisin’s Inheritance Trilogy takes place ten years after the first, but is intimately connected with it. Told from Oree’s point of view, the narrative voice is authoritative and original-this is a book that readers won’t be able to put down. The way Oree stands up for not only herself but for those she loves is an amazing display of courage in a world that doesn’t always reward such behavior. A magnificent novel and one of the best books this reviewer has read this year.” -Romantic Times, 4 ½ Star Top Pick!
Blurb: In the city of Shadow, beneath the World Tree, alleyways shimmer with magic and godlings live hidden among mortalkind. Oree Shoth, a blind artist, takes in a strange homeless man on an impulse. This act of kindness engulfs Oree in a nightmarish conspiracy. Someone, somehow, is murdering godlings, leaving their desecrated bodies all over the city. And Oree's guest is at the heart of it. . .
