Kushiel's Dart by Jacqueline Carey

[kaleo2tz]

As I was drifting off to sleep last night, I finally thought of a way to respond to this fairly thick fantasy novel.

It's something from Shakespeare in which Sir Benedict describes fair Hero after being prodded for his opinion by the lovesick Claudio.

Why, i' faith, methinks she's too low for a high praise, too brown for a fair praise and too

I have to say I agree. I read Kushiel's Dart quickly and while I was jetlagged so don't remember much, but I read Kushiel's Chosen (the second one) during free time on vacation and it was terrible. First books tend to sap a lot of the creative factors from these types of "budding 14 year old author"'s and when they get to the second book a lot of that creative padding gets stripped away for a trashy romance novel with bdsm (although I'll give her props for the research).

Also kind of a Mary-sue much? Jacqueline Carey, Phedre Delaney. Count the syllables and rhyme-scheme.

Looking forward to have my say
