Mind you, there’s no scene in either book featuring a character cleaning her teeth. So how the hell did people in ancient Egypt brush their teeth? Or did they all just go around with terrible breath and piano-key smiles? How’d they do their hair? If someone was going bald, did they do the comb-over? What did they do before dinner - was there an Egyptian equivalent of saying grace? Or did they just all flop down in front of the ancient equivalent of TV without speaking?Īnd how’d they go potty? Seriously, I spent like three days on that one.
Both books take place in Gujaareh, a secondary world society that shows obvious ancient-Egyptian roots. That was what I needed to know about, as I researched the books of the Dreamblood ( The Killing Moon and The Shadowed Sun).
Jemisin has become one of our favourites Fantasy authors (check out our reviews of The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms and The Broken Kingdoms and we are delighted to welcome her to the blog today to celebrate the release of (the MOST EXCELLENT!) The Killing Moon, the first book in her Dreamblood duology.
