Superb!!!

+ Avoids the middle-book blahs.
+ Another Delightful Read

These 5 books are the best series I've read in forever! An absolute must for avid readers. JC has enthralled me with her complex characters and vivid portrayal of a ficticious realm in all it's glorious treachery and betrayal. I could not recommend this any higher than 5 stars, but this whole ...

Spectra, 2007

One of the greatest Epic stories ever written.

+ Subdued, but still very good
+ it's now late 2008

Maybe the best story I've ever read. Epic in span. The books look intimidating in size, but they read fast. There are no good guys and bad guys, just characters with their own motivations. At the end of the first book, I had my favorite character and my most hated characters(two brothers); at ...

Jacqueline Carey

Grand Central Publishing, 2007

A new life, a new chapter

+ Kushiel's Justice lives up to it's Author's reputation
+ A marvelous book...except for the last third

This first in a trilogy of novels follows Prince Imriel de la Courcel, Ysandre's nephew by the exiled criminal Melisande de Shahirizai. It is narrated by Imriel himself rather than Phedre, in a turn that takes a reader of the saga a bit to get used to. Carey pulls it off, however, and manages to ...

Spectra, 2002

Absolutely among the best I've read. Edgy stage-setting adventure creates an intriguingly cruel world

+ Brilliant start of a great series
+ A great start to a great series

This book was recommended by a friend. I have since recommended it (and the series) to anyone with a bend for fantasy, fiction, political scheming, and/or adventure. Buy it, read it, then spread it. You will not be disappointed...unless of course adult themes and content offend you.
