A review by cosymilko
Kushiel's Dart by Jacqueline Carey

4.0

This book is a saga within itself. I was engrossed from the first page by the unique style with which Carey weaves the story. The first 100 pages were the hardest to get through as the characters are building and changing and the passage of time is the fastest of the novel.

The plot twists were unpredictable at times and I had to keep reading to find out what happens. The hints are there but there is always one piece just out of grasp. I loved the intrigue and the way Carey pulled of Courtesans without it turning into a pure sex story. The sex adds to the plot and the testing of the characters and how far they will go.
