matt reviewed Kushiel's Dart by Jacqueline Carey
Review of "Kushiel's dart" on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
I enjoyed KD. It's a bit too long, and the "romantic(?) elements" aren't exactly my cup of tea, but at the core it's a twisty fantasy epic with a likeable courtesan/spy protagonist.
Will read more.
I appreciated how Phedre banged her way through many problems, and schemed through the ones she couldn't solve sexually. It's a refreshing take from constant sword fighting.
