Kushiel's Chosen by Jacqueline Carey
4.0
These books are weirdly fascinating and good to me. Though they can be slow at times I am hooked by the political intrigue, the rich cultures, and the excitement of the story.
I find it weird that these books are under the erotica sub-heading a lot...though there is sex and in some cases BDSM it is not the focus of this book at all. Though Phedre is an anguisette and in no better terms a courtesan she is so much more than that and the anguisette part of the story is only there to denote who she is. This story is about her struggle to survive and save her country and ruler. It is political in many ways and adventurous in others. To me erotica is where the sex is the main story and the reason for so much...this is not about that at all.
I enjoyed this book and would recommend it to my friends. Hopefully this series keeps up with the craziness and intrigue and keeps me on my toes.
