    The Killing Moon by N.K. Jemisin (2012)

    /

    My first N.K. Jemisin book was The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms, a fantasy story set in a world which does not have European fantasy tropes. The Killing Moon is another fantasy story set in a non-European fantasy world, only this time it’s one based around Egyptian/Mediterranean/etc. cultures. It’s not set on Earth, so really it’s only got the flavor of those cultures, but it’s enough of a flavor to make me really happy. I LOVE it when a fantasy isn’t just another pseudo-medieval Europe expy! More diverse settings/characters/worlds, please!

    REVIEW: The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms by N.K. Jemisin

    /

    Read for The Women of Fantasy Book Club I’ve written and rewritten this review three times now, and I’m getting really sick of it. So this review is now going going to be short, to the point, and AWESOME. It’s always good to start on a positive note, right? So: I loved The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms. I love the writing, the themes, how it doesn’t gloss over important issues that pop up in the relationship between humans and gods or humans and humans. I like the action, the intrigue, the characters, the setting. I loved the language, especially in the parts that tell stories about the mythology of the world…

Welcome!

Here There Be Books is a book review database for queer (LGBTQ+) science fiction/fantasy romance books.

Romance as in either a book focused on the romantic relationship between two (or more) people, with a happy ending; OR a book with a romantic subplot (and probably a happy ending because I’m a sucker for those).
