Book Reviews of Kushiel's Dart (Kushiel's Legacy)
Book Review: WOW
Summary: 5 Stars
Wow, after getting through the first pages, of difficult names and titles, you just cant stop! It has been a long time that I have read a book this good!Book Review: Wonderful
Summary: 5 Stars
while this book starts out with names and titles that are initially difficult to remember, you start to learn and love the characters; their tragedies are your tragedies. The plot of the book is deliciously twisted, and leaves you breathless. The main character, Phedre, is dark yet innocently sexy. The plot of the story is not like the repetitive stuff churned out in mass, it is different in that the hero, or more triumphantly, heroine defeats the bad guy using not strength or magic but the gift of her sexuality and knowlege instilled in her. She is obviously sexy, but thankfully she is intelligent. She is not perfect, in truth her flaws are shining marks that make her human.Book Review: Kushiels Dart
Summary: 5 Stars
Capivating from the first page !!! a real page turner, this is actually the second time I have read this book and the second reading, dare I saw, was better than the first.Book Review: Read On!
Summary: 4 Stars
First, I am not historically a Fantasy reader. I found myself bookless at my boyfriend's house & he suggested I pick this one up. The first third of the book (I still can't believe I stuck it out that long) was PAINFULLY slow. Too many characters and lands with unnecessarily long titles, too many wordy explanations. I couldn't stop squirming as I read.
But then...
It got GOOD - REALLY GOOD. The story hit it's stride, developed tentacles and sucked me in; I couldn't put the gosh-darn thing down. Invariably, I had to check that I was still breathing after each intense twist and turn. Read other reviews for character and plot details. This reviewer's intent is to simply encourage that you READ ON! It's very, very worth it.
Book Review: Brilliant!
Summary: 5 Stars
Carey's Kushiel's Dart creates a brilliant alternate history as it presents fully three-dimensional characters caught in the tide of destiny.
Phedre is raised as a courtesan, trained as a spy, and born to a "gift" from the god Kushiel--the gift of finding pleasure in pain. Thrust into a dangerous web of conspiracy, Phedre must
save her country from invasion.
A brilliant, gripping saga.
