Kushiel's Dart
by Jacqueline Carey
I've sworn off all serious books for the next few months, so I figured I was safe with a fantasy romance when I picked this book up at the library. Um, yeah, I was mistaken. First of all, it really doesn't conform to the template of a romance. It's just loaded with sex. A lot of sex. It is, however, a fantasy, albeit a light one. Like, Lois McMaster Bujold, Carey creates an interesting religion, which in itself could be considered a character. This book was surprisingly well written, even if it was in the first person.

You know, this book is really too complex to describe in a short paragraph. The religion is expansive and the main character's life, Phedre, revolves around her religious service as a courtesan. There is also political intrigue, convoluted from the fact that you really have no idea what is going on until Phedre knows. The characters are complex and interesting...
