"Raban takes the reader on a literal and metaphorical journey. It is autobiographical, historical and filled with sharp observations about the connection between humans and the natural world."

Very solid historical drama,
Some bloody scenes, and some sexual situations. But for adults nothing you've not seen before probably. The characters are interesting, and the mythologies are explored.

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.

I don't know if my expectations were too high with all the really positive reviews, but this one didn't grab me as much as I'd hoped. The villain is really very, very wicked and the protagonist must be as blind as bats!

I like at least an attemp at historical accuracy in my historical fiction, but there were some odd things going on here IMO. First Floor conservatory? Unlikely - or an Americanism?!
