Recent addition: My gosh but I'm reading slowly! I'll never get my 150 books in. Anyway, I read this over the course of like a month... I love rereading these! It's amazing! Phedre gets into so many crazy situations, and yet everything (well, major things anyway) tend to work out for her. Plus, you just can't get much better BDSM than this! ----- Read: March 4-9, 2011 This is one of those books where the second in the series is better than the first. Almost completely unheard of these days! Kushiel's Chosen continues the story of Phedre. These days she is a peer of the realm and the most seeked-out courtesan to boot! She has certainly climbed up the social ladder, and that while she never wanted to. She only has one problem: Melisande. Phedre decides to go hunt her down, and manages to, once more, have a super long novel full of adventure. I love how this book was less sculpted like a tale and more like a series of unfortunate events. The last book read a lot more like a plot outline (let's cram in as many drastic events to make it seem like coincidence, although if we put in that many we know it wont be) where as this one read a lot more like Phedre's actual life. Stuck on an island prison, there's a chance for escape so you take it: you fall off the cliff, make an oath to the goddess of the waters, then you are rescued by pirates which hold you for ransom. It actually sounds a lot more reasonable than some of the crazy things Phedre came up with last book! As well as the plot, Carey's writing style continued to impress me. If I read something else and then go back to one of her books, I really notice the "old" style of language that she uses. Not just the "my lord's" and all the bowing, but her actual writing style and grammar reflect these times. I really love that! It's certainly a way to really immerse your readers into your story. But while reading I don't notice these things... the story just flows. This book also had a lot less of the anguisette principles... it was focused more on Phedre's adventures than her love life, which I thought was a shame. I could never grow bored of hearing her reactions to whips or to submitting. It's what makes her so unique as a character. The other characters definitely grew. Joscelin especially. I am also glad that some of my predictions on the end and what will happen in the next book proved false! I hate being able to predict the ending of a book too far in advance (or the whole next book in the series) and love it when I get proven wrong. It definitely shows the author's skill at being able to weave a great story: which Carey did! I will probably read this series again, it is that amazing.
