Having paid dearly for ignoring Elua's edict to love as thou wilt, Imriel and Sidonie have finally come forward to publicly confess their love for each other---only to watch the news ignite turmoil throughout the land. Those who are old enough cannot forget the misdeeds of Imriel's mother, Melisande, whose self-serving lies plunged their country into war. In order to quell the uprising, Queen Ysandre hands down a decree: she will not divide the lovers, but neither will she acknowledge them. And if they decide to marry, Sidonie will be disinherited. That is, unless Imriel can find his mother and bring her back to Terre D'Ange to be executed for treason.... Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Would give this a seven star rating if possible...I have read every book of the Kushiel series and have been so impressed with Carey as an author. To be honest, Phedre and Jocelyn were my favorite characters, but Imriel has steadily grown on me until in this, the conclusion of his story, I found myself on the edge of my seat, cheering him on, laughing, crying and hoping that the story would end well. From the very first page I was drawn into the world of Terre de Ange and its citizens. I found myself reading at every opportunity, sometimes ...

I highly recommend it to anyone that has been following the series. Rating: - Excellent!This is a return to the sprawling adventure of most of the other books in the Kushiel series and quite possibly my favorite. Jacqueline Carey's use of language and creative plot turns is wonderful. I'm sure I'll be reading this entire series again in the not-to-distant future. I can't wait for her next book. Rating: - A brilliant last installmentThis book came out in June, but I only got around to reading it while I was on vacation in August. I have no idea why it took me so long to get around to it, except perhaps that I knew it was going to be the final book involving Phedre, Joscelin, Imriel and their circle of supporting characters, and I wasn't quite ready to say goodbye yet. If I have had one complaint about the first two books of the second Kushiel trilogy, it was that they weren't plot-driven enough. They were character stories. ... Read More Rating: - Yet againOne would think that by a 6th book, the author may be pulling out the same ideas, dusting them off and giving them a fresh coat of paint. Not this author. New ideas, twists that leave the reader enthralled and unable to put the book down, she even came up with new characters to love and hate. The only repeat of previous books is what you'd expect, Blessed Eula and his Companions are a constant shadow cast, no matter where in the world our hero or heroine land. The ending of the 5th book left you salivating ... Read More |
