[Story Title] Kushiel’s Dart
[Author] Jacqueline Carey
[First Sentences]
Lest anyone should suppose that I am a cuckoo’s child, got on the wrong side of the blanket by lusty peasant stock and sold into indenture in a shortfallen season, I may say that I am House-born and reared in the Night Court proper, for all the good it did me.
[Did this make you want to read the rest of the story?]
Yep… I just don’t know where to put it on my insane TBR list right. Too many amazing books…
Have you read this? Should I move it up?
I thought this was an excellent book with strong characters and a well-realized fantasy world. Be warned that it is not for the squeamish. There is a lot of non-traditional sex including the use of pain for sexual pleasure.
@ Kathy Martin : Thanks for the warning! I’m still going to read it, but good to know what I’m getting myself into
