Kushiel's Dart, Jacqueline Carey

This book is only for the serious fantasy enthusiast, and maybe not for all of those, either. "Kushiel's dart" is the story of PhËdre nÛ Delaunay, who is born into a world of indentured prostitution and trained by a politician to mix sex, spying and sado-masochism. PhËdre quickly becomes a favorite of the court and intrigue follows. This is not the book for you if you're wondering whether you like fantasy or not ñ Carey is highly romantic, and PhËdre is full of "if I knew then what I know now" melodrama. Nonetheless, it's a good, complicated story, fantasy that you can sink your teeth into. And it's kinky.
