Grand Central Publishing, 2007
Kushiel's Justice lives up to it's Author's reputation
+ A marvelous book...except for the last third
+ A credit to the series
J. Carey moves seemlessly from her Phaedre character to Imriel, bringing the same intense characterisations and well paced story development. Again the backdrops for the drama are intriging and rich; I would love to visit the worlds she builds in my head! As a reader I was immediately drawn into ...

Spectra, 2007
Like the novels, a review with a twist.....
+ Bunch of whiners!
+ I loved the focus on the minor characters
I have to say this is the finest series I have ever read. For an intelligent, medevil soap opera it doesnt get any better. However...I am so beyond frustrated with the author. If he spent half the time he did writing in his "not a blog" or helping other authors, or whatever convention that month ...
