Naamah's Kiss (Moirin's Trilogy #1)
One Sentence Summary:
The child Moirin is raised to adulthood and begins her quest to discover and follow her destiny.
Review:
Carey tackles this new series with the same ability to look life in the face and not shirk away from the more difficult subjects. The prose are beautiful and the descriptions of scenery are moving. The characters are all very well thought out and Carey is successful in making you love them or hate them. The action and adventure is a bit slow to start but once it does you will not be able to put the book down.

Naamah's Curse (Moirin's Trilogy #2)

One Sentence Summary:
Moirin continues her journey travelling from far to find her true love.
Review:
The adventure in this volume has snowballed and can not be stopped. Carey thrives on description and as Moirin travels the world she encounters new lands and new people which Carey describes with such detail that you honestly feel that you are part of the adventure. Reading this, like anything by Carey, is an experience you will not soon forget.

Naamah's Blessing (Moirin's Trilogy #3)


One Sentence Summary:
Moirin and her love, Bao, travel to Terra Nova and the adventure continues.
Review:
More beautiful prose and more thrilling escapades. This concludes the story arch very well, in an unexpected way and closes the door on the story of Moirin and Bao. Carey has said she has no intention of returning to the world of Phedre and Moirin but I hold out hope that one day she will have a new story to tell as the world is such a wonderful place I hate to think I will never return to new adventures.
