Ótimo livro de fantasia, boa descrição do mundo que ele está inserido e da religião, que é um fator central no desenvolvimento da história. Muita política e devaneios de imperialismo (do vilão). Pra mim não é 5 estrelas porque esperava mais, já que é uma duologia. Tudo se resolveu de forma bem rápida nos últimos 8% do livro e eu senti que faltava algo. Porém, com certeza vou ler o segundo.

This was my first time reading N.K. Jemisen, and I am hooked. The Killing Moon is a near-perfect fantasy ready: the world-building is original and thorough, the characters are complex, fully developed, and their roles/actions within the plot line up with the person they've been described as. There were a lot of surprises and suspense - I read this quickly and was completely immersed.

This took me far too long to read. This book is well-written, well-thought out, and I could tell how it could appeal to some, but just wasn’t my thing. I didn’t connect with the characters, the plot, or the resolution. I should have DNFed it weeks ago just to move on but I wanted to see if the ending would seem like the sequel would be better. Not going to continue with the series though and much more excited to read Jemisin’s other series.

did not care about the characters and too much focus trying to develop the other-worldlyness
