Kushiel's Scion

Superb Enticing

Jacqueline Carey gives us an exceptional series and is a gifted author . When one reads the Kushiels series the descriptive writing has you feeling like you are there with the characters. You see the green mountainsides and feel the dry desert heat. This is an enjoyable historical fiction book with a lot of sexuality: about a different culture. The series of books has depth and character development with a wonderful historical fiction background.

The title does not do this book justice. It centers more around finding your place in the world between culture and family. The title would make you believe it is about love and breakups. I wish it had been called something else.
I feel like more people would pick up this book if it was called something else.
I enjoyed the plot and the story but it was not what I was expecting.

Cliche, cliche, cliche, some uninspired references to Pop culture that don't really feel natural to the story, rushed ending. There are so many books better than this one out there, one of which almost certainly inspired the main plot in Armada. I bet many people would know what I'm talking about. I just don't name it to avoid spoiling any of the two books in case you have read the other one.

Beautiful depiction of Mexican culture

Contains spoilers, click to show

The animation in this movie is beautiful. I love the use of color! The story is cute, if predictable. The music is upbeat and catchy. There were a few things that bothered me. Why does the whole family go by the last name Rivera? Shouldn’t the family branches have taken the men’s last names? Also why doesn’t De La Cruz know that Miguel is not his great-great-grandson?

Wow. All I can say is "wow" after finishing this book. I had heard some of the reviews as being "graphic" however, the book itself wasn't graphic in the description of the events but it was in the topic that was discussed. I felt as though it was a realistic depiction of things that have happened in our culture and it was hard to get through without shedding any tears of my own.
