I'm very torn about this book. My brother bought it, started it, and put it down - I'd sworn I would never read it. But it just sat there for days and days, taunting me, and finally I gave in and just read through the darned thing....And the writing was beautiful. Laughable sometimes, when something...
I was mindfucked with all that names, places, gods, angels, houses et ceatera at first. I liked the plot, I liked the pace, I liked the main charecter.
Today, I finally decided to abandon this book after plodding through the first 206 pages. I don't know, Kushiel's Dart just didn't do it for me. There were many elements of the book which I thought were good- the backstory of Elua and how Terre D'Ange was founded, the Court of the Night Blooming F...
If Dune met, say, Tiffany Reisz's The Siren, you might have something like Jacqueline Carey's Kushiel's Dart. I'm way late to this party, but after having everyone and their sister tell me I had to read it, I picked up a used copy and spent a couple of days with this very long -- 315,000 words -- ta...

The first I did not get past the second chapter. While taking part in different memes and Goodreads groups I kept seeing th...
I don't know why the heck I added this to my TBR as the premise is definitely NOT one I enjoy. The first 100 pages or so are horrible (though well written I guess) and then Phedre's bond gets purchased and it gets a little better. At least interesting enough to keep going. Unfortunately I already...
This book was really hard for me to rate, but I finally decided on 4 stars. There were some things that were exceedingly well done and some aspects that were not, but overall I was impressed with this book and felt that it was better than my average 3 star rating.I'll start with the cons.Exposition....

This is a comprehensive review of the series as a whole:By far my favorite books ever. An alternative medieval history with a unique slant on religion (not preachy—quite the opposite—the message is to love freely. With a soul-depth delivery). Carey’s stylized writing isn’t for everyone, but I found ...
I did not finish this book. In fact, I didn't even get past page 100 or so. I won't rate it because I can't give it a fair rating. I can understand that fans of this kind of novel love this book. I can also see that others don't like it or can't get into it. I had to force myself from the beginning....
