I love, love, love, love, loved Kushiel's Dart. I liked Kushiel's Chosen as well. I nearly hated Kushiel's Avatar though. It seemed to move from the series' political intrigue and kink tainted adventure to grandiose religious quest. I liked Carey's recreated cultures and religions (and how she beautifully twisted many of today's leading faiths to poke fun) but turning Phedre from someone who occasionally felt the influence of her pantheon to a complete tool of her chosen deities bugged me.

But the first half of Kushiel's Dart was SOOOO delicious. Melisande! *much purring* Sweet Mother Earth, I'm sill in lust with that character.

I found an autographed copy of Dart and gave it to one of my lovers... the same lady who introduced me to the book, as a matter of fact.

I have a line from that book as my signature in several other forums. "Not all that yields is weak." I noticed you've something similar Morrighan. Love it. As for the tat, I had a black widow inked across the small of my back and cried my eyes out while it was done. I'd love to see yours Morrighan.

And a new series about Imriel? I hope we get to see more of his mother's clan.
