Notes
- From the series record (The Dreamblood): Core Canon = both novels of the completed duology (Orbit, 2012). Confirmed a separate, unrelated universe from Jemisin's The Broken Earth and The Inheritance Trilogy, already in this canon -- different world, different magic system, no shared characters; all three records are cross-referenced as being by the same author. 'The Narcomancer' (a Dreamblood-set prequel short story collected in How Long 'til Black Future Month?, 2018) was not researched and is not registered.
