mainon 's review for:
Kushiel's Dart
by Jacqueline Carey
1015 pages, and I'm impressed by how tightly the story was woven together, and yet how I can see that there will be plenty to fill the next two volumes of the trilogy.
A quote from a review (by Piers Anthony) that summarized my views better than I could have expressed them:
"It's a book the reader can live in for a while, and be sorry to leave. I think of a pyramid: the start is slow because there are many courses of tile to lay, setting up. But in time the courses build into a massive structure, intricately interlinked, with its devious mysteries. The protagonist is uniquely endowed for this effort: who would have expected a sexual masochist as a heroine! But how can one not love her? ... Overall, a powerful narrative, with savage action balanced by exquisite characterization. The best fantasy I've read in years."
