Sinossi
Terre D'Ange: un regno fondato dagli angeli e popolato da individui in cui una bellezza mirabile si accompagna a un'incondizionata libertà fisica e mentale. Un unico precetto guida infatti le Tredici Case che lo dominano: Ama a tuo piacimento? Phèdre nó Delaunay non è soltanto una delle cortigiane più ammirate di Terre D'Ange, ma anche un'abilissima spia, che in diverse occasioni ha messo a repentaglio la propria vita per proteggere il regno. Ed è per questo che la sua antica nemica e traditrice, Mélisande Shahrizai, si affida a lei quando suo figlio viene rapito per favorire gli oscuri intrighi di un pretendente al trono della corte angeline. Il legame ambiguo che unisce le due donne induce Phèdre ad accettare il pericoloso incarico, perché lei sa di poter contare sull'amato Joscelin, il cavaliere che conosce la sua natura di anguissette persone che possono mescolare la sofferenza e il piacere per natura e non per costrizione e che non è mai venuto meno alla promessa di proteggerla e servirla.

Although I did enjoy the first two books in this series, it was with a bucket of reservations: repetition, overblown language, and inadequate characterization of the supporting characters, which made the impressively plotted political machinations so much less involving. The third book, however, over Leggi tutto
2021 update: My first (but definitely not last) reread of this trilogy is complete. And I love it as much now as I ever did. ———————————— Five well earned stars. A beautiful end to a fantastic trilogy. I prayed it would end in love. I prayed we could come home, all of us. I love Phèdre nó Delaunay d Leggi tutto
Carey writes very well. Her turns of phrase and choice of imagery are excellent. Her command of language is exquisite. She tells a deep and detailed story through well-imagined characters.

Kushiel’s Avatar is the last book in the first of three Kushiel’s Universe trilogies. All three books were a solid four stars. I enjoyed the stories, cared about the characters, and looked forward to reading it each day. I didn’t find it very hard to put down, and there were slow spots here and ther Leggi tutto
4.0 Stars This was a solid, if slightly underwhelming conclusion to this historical fantasy trilogy. I loved spending more time with the characters, but found the story itself to be a bit anticlimactic compared to the first two books. Yet I'm still very happy to have completed this iconic series.
4.75* Finally we've reached the end of this journey... while already teasing the next one. This is the last Kushiel's Legacy book narrated through Phèdre's eyes. But this was an amazing final ride with her. Phèdre is one of the strongest protagonists I ever read about and her and Joscelin are THE f/m O Leggi tutto
