ultimatebisbee 's review for:
Kushiel's Dart
by Jacqueline Carey
I avoided this book and series for a long time because of the premise, Phedre’s condition of experiencing pain as pleasure. Honestly I’m still a little uncomfortable with that idea, but the author engages in healthy discourse about consent and I appreciate that. Still giving it 5 stars because I was very impressed with the world building, the writing style, and the subtle complexity of the characters. It took me on a real adventure across many different cultures and handled complex politics without getting too boring.
