The author of the New York Times bestselling Kushiel fantasy series returns with an all-new saga set in her brilliantly imagined Renaissance world and featuring Moirin, whose divine gifts prove to be crucial as she comes up against an ambitious mage, a noble warrior princess desperate to save her father's throne, and the spirit of a celestial dragon.
The seventh installment in Carey's bestselling Kushiel series (after 2008's Kushiel's Mercy) follows its youthful protagonist, Moirim, from bed to bed as she worships sexuality goddess Naamah. Following a tragic affair, Moirim travels to Terre d'Ange, this world's France. There she takes a variety of lovers, from the aristocratic occultist Raphael de Mereliot to Queen Jehanne herself. The elderly but wise Lo Feng befriends Moirim and leads her to the distant land of Ch'in and the true love of her life, the gruff but affectionate ex-bandit Bao. Moirim and her friends endeavor to save the Ch'in emperor's daughter Snow Tiger from a curse, but their efforts come at terrible costs, not least of which is the certainty of multiple sequels. Carey's triumph as a writer lies in her ability to turn these stock-nearly stereotyped-components into an engaging, fascinating novel. (July)

Naamah's Kiss (Naamah's Trilogy Series #1)
[3.5 stars] I have mixed feelings about this trilogy. You see, it's really difficult for anything to follow Kushiel's and Imriel's stories and, since this one took place a few hundred years in the future, I found myself mourning the fact that we've moved on (kind of like when Avatar ended and they brought back Legend of Korra - it's really good, but I miss the old characters). I also thought the story was a bit inconsistent - the first half was a solid 5-star "I was totally enamored" rating. The second half was a conservative 2.5-star rating because the story elements sort of "jumped the shark" when it came to feasibility. Overall, the parts of this story I liked, I did so with the same ferocity as those which came before. The parts I didn't amounted to my least favorite experiences with this author so far. The verdict? Worth reading if you've read the other trilogies, but moderate your expectations (and take what I say with a grain of salt - I've met a few people who claim this as their favorite of Carey's trilogies). I'll also add that I really adored Moirin, so there's no shortage of beautifully written characters.
