“Ehiru, named Nsha in dreams.”
Omg please tell me about Jemisin's other books!I honestly started The Fifth Season without a clue of its premise and I was not prepared for how much I would love it. Are her other books similar or more traditional fantasy?
They’re all “traditional fantasy” with major twist and REPRESENTATION. (In other words, YES, similar)
SERIES 1: THE INHERITANCE TRILOGYA young mixed race woman from a matriarchal (Inca-based) hunter/warrior subjugated culture ends up traveling to the megacenter of the world where one sketchy uber-white unfeeling family (ruled by her estranged grandfather) have ruled the world for thousands of years thru being the caretakers of the enslaved losers of a righteous gods’ war. Gods’ war = genocide, what mortals would consider incest, betrayal and heartbreak. Fish-out-of-water situations, friendship, backstabbing, revelations, sex, and machinations ensue. Then it gets bigger.
SERIES 2: THE DREAMBLOOD DUOLOGYA pseudo-Egyptian country has become the leaders of trade, wealth, and sophistication through being a cultural melting pot (where dark = aristocratic) + dream wizard magic. The entire religion is based around harnessing dream energy leading to miraculous healing and easing pain as well as madness. The pinnacle order of these wizards are the culturally-accepted euthanasianists who kill those suffering to harness their life energy (this is very magically necessary). But then the most respected and elite dream killer wizard (+ his homoerotically enmeshed sidekick) begin to see corruption in the incorruptible court. PLUS the awesome foreign uber-dark ambassador/spy WOMAN gets involved. Intensity and war ensues. Then it gets darker.
TV night with these two beffcakes ☺️❤️
I found my Wicked playbill and Ehiru must exist because of this
Last night I did tequila shots with my best friend’s great aunt, she was like 80 it was hilarious
