This is one of the greatest stories ever told and will be enjoyed by all lovers of fantasy for many years to come. It is complex and intricate, and I enjoyed each story from cover to cover. Jacqueline Carey is a true literary genius.

This is one of the things that I like so much about Carey’s novels, that she explores love as a divine force that can effect change in the world. I also love how she in “Kushiel’s Chosen” and “Kushiel’s Avatar” sets out to explore the ethics of compassion.

No greater epic has ever been told. Simple as that. Her words are beautiful and her story telling and magnificent. I am obsessed with her novels. She showed how love can change a nation and the world. She captured the divinity in love, something that should never be forgotten.

Thanks Trine!

We are just trying to keep it fresh, and sometimes oldies but goodies do that!

I have another one I’m putting up later this evening!

I came across this article when I was writing my review of “Kushiel’s Dart” for BSC – apart from the wonderful heroine Phèdre and the exotic yet familiar world of Terre d’Ange it was Carey’s reworking of the Judeo-Christian mythology of angel that drew me in. Not only does she succeed in crafting a plausible mythos but the whole Kushiel series explores the different aspects of a society where Love in all its manifold forms are held as a sacred tenet.

It is very nice to see all of these author essays here on BSC. This site has always been great but you have now taken it to whole new kinds of awesomeness. Gentlemen, I salute you!
