A review by ninicorae
Kushiel's Dart by Jacqueline Carey

4.0

A book to get lost in. I love the way in which Carey took certain elements, such as religion, culture, history, geography, and made them part of her world, in her own way. I found the subterfuge fascinating, as well as her twist on religion; although, this was one of the books I had to set aside to return to later - only to wonder why I stopped reading it, I then proceeded to finish the remainder of the series within the week.

Obviously, considering Kushiel's "gift", there's some pretty heavy BDSM, but I found that I was far more moved by Carey's world building and character development than the means by which the concubines acquired information.
