Kushiel's Mercy (Kushiel's Legacy)
Jacqueline Carey
Grand Central Publishing, 2008
A satisfying end to Kushiel's Legacy
Mercy is the third of the Imriel trilogy, the sixth in Kushiel's Legacy. Usually after six books the plot is lagging with cliches and tired writing. Not so with Carey's work (although I won't be discussing the sad disappoinment that Banewreaker was). It's been a while ...

Kushiel's Chosen (Kushiel's Legacy)
Jacqueline Carey
Tor Fantasy, 2003
Superb!!!
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 ...

Naamah's Kiss
Jacqueline Carey
Grand Central Publishing, 2009

Godslayer: Volume II of The Sundering
Jacqueline Carey
Tor Fantasy, 2006
Quite Nordic in tone for the Ending
I can't understand why people compare this to the story as told from the perspective of the Nazgul, or compare it to LotR at ALL - this is completely different! The Nazgul were intent on world domination and the complete and total subjugation of all people and races ...

Kushiel's Scion (Kushiel's Legacy)
Jacqueline Carey
Grand Central Publishing, 2007
A new life, a new chapter
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 ...

Kushiel's Avatar (Kushiel's Legacy)
Jacqueline Carey
Tor Fantasy, 2004
Phedre's journey is a cause for horror and rejoicing
I really think Jacqueline Carey has come into her own with this third volume of her "Kushiel's Legacy" series. Her characters have matured and become more than they were in the first and second volumes: Phedre especially has begun to fully blossom as a full-fleshed ...

Banewreaker: Volume I of The Sundering
Jacqueline Carey
Tor Fantasy, 2005
Intriguing twist and a new perspective
I'm honestly surprised by the bad reviews. I really liked this book - we're given a completely NEW perspective on the "dark God" premise. What if ... what if the so-called "dark God" is NOT in fact the one who is responsible for the destruction of the previous ...

It's a Crime: A Novel
Jacqueline Carey
Ballantine Books, 2008
A timely portrait of the fallout of corporate greed
It's a Crime incorporates multiple themes seamlessly: a timely portrait of the personal and social fallout of corporate greed; the universal middle-aged effort to reconcile the younger romantic selves of our memory with the conscience of the mundane demographic which ...

Good Gossip
Jacqueline Carey
Ivy Books, 1993
snore
I think this was supposed to be witty and urbane. It's merely tedious and shallow. An awful lot of fuss and bother about some insipid people who have *no* lives. How very disappointing.

Revisiting Narnia: Fantasy, Myth and Religion in C. S. Lewis' Chronicles (Smart Pop series)
Benbella Books, 2005
Snap, Crackle, Pop
Of the making of books about Narnia there is no end, and in the Smart Pop series, they do kitschy critical books about anything pop, Buffy, Firefly, Farscape, and plus they even str-e-t-c-h out the definition of "pop" so that now it includes PRIDE AND PREJUDICE by Jane ...

The Sundering (SFBC Omnibus)
Jacqueline Carey
Science Fiction Book Club, 2005
An extraordinarily complex, moving achievement
Yes, I have read and loved all the Kushiel series; they are astonishing, wonderful books. Yet those who pick up the two volumes of the Sundering because they loved Phedre, and come away disappointed and complain the books fail to measure up, are missing the point ...
