Kushiel's Dart by Jacqueline Carey

3.0

---

This book took close to two months to read. There were moments the book flowed and then there were moments it ebbed. Kushiel's Dart follows the early life and experiences of Phedre no Delaunay, a child that serves Naamah and Kushiel. Because she serves Naamah, she offers pleasure. Because she has a direct connection to Kushiel, she experiences pain as pleasure and vice-versa. The book discusses her training, her customers, a betrayal, a fight to save her country and her friends from turmoil. It takes patience and grit to complete this book. It was an interesting story. Keep in mind that this book is not all sex or all about flagellants. There is a deeper fantastical story! Those who like this book, just like it. Those who do not will take a quick pass and never pick it up again.
