“Wonderful addition to the series”

“Despite the, uhm, 'striking' cover art, Carey's trilogy had considerably more depth and subtlety that I expected, without being any less of the engaging summer-beach read I had hoped for. (OK, maybe the beach at midnight . . . ) Less like Laurell K. Hamilton, more like Alexandre Dumas with a good editor.”

“I feel like I have been reading this for ages. I must have started over a year ago! Truth be told, it was quite slow in the beginning and this is what accounted for my not being able to continue. The second time around, I sped through the beginning and realized that it gets so much more exciting after that! I loved the Darsanga scenes. Once you get over the speed bump, the plot of this book is actually much better than that its predecessors. Glad I finished this, though not sure I'm up to tackling the Imriel series just yet.”

“A really sound and satisfying end to this trilogy, and with the added benefit of setting up the following one.

Dangling plot string are tied off neatly - except for the couple that are left open for the following books. :) Highly recommend this trilogy as a whole.
Note: this is a fantasy with sparse fantasy elements, rather than overwhelming ones. The semi-historical places are recognizable as the equivalents of real-world ones and it keeps the reader moving to the end of the story.
Give it a shot!”
“A worthy conclusion for Carey's first "Kushiel" trilogy, featuring a more mature Phédre no Delaunay. I enjoyed it just as much as its predecessors.”
