Dead Light March (The Shadowshaper Cypher, Novella 2)
Dead Light March (The Shadowshaper Cypher, Novella 2) | Daniel José Older
10 posts | 8 read | 4 to read
Set between the New York Times bestseller Shadowshaper and its upcoming sequel Shadowhouse Fall, and following the first novella Ghost Girl in the Corner, this story of music, passion, and mystery will draw you deeper into the magical Brooklyn of Daniel José Older's Shadowshaper Cypher. Mina Satorius, classmate of Sierra and her crew, is being drawn deeper into the light of the Sorrows' world. Sierra's brother Juan isn't quite sure what to do with his band's latest song--it has an actual melody!--but maybe it'll impress his brand-new, out of the blue, super-secret crush. And Sierra herself is grappling with the new powers that have made her head of the shadowshapers . . . and what that means for her life and those around her. The stories of all three collide at the West Indian Day parade as new threats and old foes thread their way towards the shadowshapers, in this electric novella set on the eve of Shadowhouse Fall.

Meh. I think it's the introduction of new characters that has me bothered. I'm not fan of the newbies AND I'm worried about the fate of some of the regulars in the next installment. Crossing my fingers for the next book.

This one was even better than the first Shadowshaper novella! And now I can finally get to listening to the audio of Shadowhouse Fall! Music to my ears! 💙💜

More Hamilrefs in DJO's works, this time another Shadowshaper novella! We really don't deserve DJO or LMM.

WhatDeeReads We're not worthy. 7y

I didn't love this as much as Ghost Girl in the Corner (my fave of the series) but it did get me excited to read Shadowhouse Fall next month! Ghost Girl was very much its own story - this one feels like a teaser for the next book. Not a bad thing, but don't expect any kind of resolution. This is just to whet your appetite.

DJO ain't nothing but a tease. This short story was excellent, per usual, but not nearly long enough and I just need Shadowhouse Fall.

Mixedreader Ooh! I'm about to start this! 7y
WhatDeeReads @Mixedreader it's very short and enjoyable. Izzy's raps just keep getting better. 7y
tea.n.books I really enjoyed Ghost Girl in the Corner. I didn't know he put out a second novella! 7y
WhatDeeReads @tea.n.books IMO Ghost Girl is much better. This is my least favorite. It's enjoyable. You can also skip it. It does have an excerpt from Shadowhouse Fall too. 7y
