I can’t begin to express how much I adore these books. I started with Kushiel’s Dart in about 2007 and have read about one a year until I’ve now finally finished the overall series. These books are so immersive that I like taking my time through them and just enjoying the experience of reading about...

I relished this, I enjoyed it, I'm a little sorry it's over and I have to let this world go. It's "only" a four star because, well, it's not the moving experience the first thee books in the series were--those made me cry--and more than once. Nothing here put me close to that sort of feeling. I'd al...

I'm going to miss this goofy universe. This last installment was a bit more cozy than most of them. Moirin doesn't often have to decide or figure much out on her own. Bao causes absolutely no trouble (to make up for the past, perhaps) and everything comes full circle.

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 think I enjoyed this one the most out of this particular trilogy. Still not as good as the Kushiel's Legacy Trilogy (the one focusing on Imriel), but enjoyable anyhow. Most people like the first trilogy the best, but I thought Imriel was a much more interesting character, as he was so much more fa...

A satisfying conclusion to the latest Terre D'Ange trilogy by Carey. After the Kushiel books it was interesting to see her take on another entity in the Elua pantheon.

Perfect vacation reading: long yet undemanding. I enjoyed it but wasn't particularly engrossed; the fact that Moirin uses her reified destiny like a GPS removes a lot of narrative tension, and the Aztec and Inca analogues never came as alive for me as the Tartar or Pict analogues from previous books...

I had a hard time with this third book in the Naamah Trilogy. It seemed so very formulaic to me, and it really dragged. There were times I despaired of finishing, so to help me get through it, I made up the Naamah's Blessing Drinking Game, which I include below. I don't recommend that any reader act...

To start things off - I did not finish this book.When I first picked up this book to read it, I wasn't aware it was part of a larger series. I should have really looked into the title more before I hit that 'Request' button on NetGalley. I have found with some books in a series you can pick up wha...

There is a pattern in all nine of the books in the Kushiel Legacy series. The main character (be it Phedre, Imriel, or Moirin) finds herself having to travel, usually from Terre d'Ange (this world's alternative France) to some other part of the world and usually in pursuit of someone. In this parti...
