Can I Read Everything by N.K. Jemisin Now?

Mar 04, 2013 22:45

Since I just watched Mark read "Valedictorian" and I am about to start The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms, I decided it was high time to gush about N.K. Jemisin's Dreamblood Duology, WHICH YOU SHOULD ALL TOTALLY READ BECAUSE IT'S AWESOME. Also nominate The Killing Moon for a Hugo. I can't wait to fanboy the crap out of N.K. Jemisin at Comic-Con. See, I ( Read more... )

I SO hear you on the shouting at the end of books.

It's like, WHAT. WHAT. NO. WHY. YOU CAN'T. STOP. AAARGH.

We own these books - they are sitting on shelves in our apt. I'll move them up the to-be-read list then. Also are the Dreamblood books not planned to be a trilogy? It was one of the reasons I hadn't picked them up yet, I was waiting for book three first.

So glad I'm not the only one who talks to / yells at books.

Nope, they are a duology. She may write a third book in the future, but it's just two books for now. She's working on a new series right now with SEISMOLOGY-BASED MAGIC.

I'm really digging The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms so far. Have you read those books?

Nifty.

I haven't read the 100,000 kingdoms either, but J has and we own those too. I trilogied/seriesed a lot last fall and have been enjoying stand alone books. but it might be time to switch back.
