I almost want to say don't listen if you're too religious but that is not it. Jacqueline Carey creates a world, solid characters, and a different way of life in this novel which does take time. This novel is not for you if you like a 5 hour novel. So many mixed reviews.I decided to give it a try anyway. Not since Dune has there been an epic on the scale of Kushiel's Dart - a massive tale about the violent death of an old age and the birth of a new.īefore purchasing this novel, I read the reviews.
Hateful friend, loving enemy, beloved assassin they can all wear the same glittering mask in this world, and Phèdre will get but one chance to save all that she holds dear.Set in a world of cunning poets, deadly courtiers, heroic traitors, and a truly Machiavellian villainess, this is a novel of grandeur, luxuriance, sacrifice, betrayal, and deeply laid conspiracies. And in the doing, it will take her to the edge of despair.and beyond. Treachery sets her on her path love and honor goad her further. Almost as talented a spy as she is courtesan, Phèdre stumbles upon a plot that threatens the very foundations of her homeland. Phèdre is trained equally in the courtly arts and the talents of the bedchamber but, above all, the ability to observe, remember, and analyze.
Sold into indentured servitude as a child, her bond is purchased by Anafiel Delaunay, a nobleman with very a special mission.and the first one to recognize who and what she is: one pricked by Kushiel's Dart, chosen to forever experience pain and pleasure as one. Phèdre nó Delaunay is a young woman who was born with a scarlet mote in her left eye. It is said that angels found the land and saw it was good.and the ensuing race that rose from the seed of angels and men live by one simple rule: Love as thou wilt.
The land of Terre d'Ange is a place of unsurpassing beauty and grace.
