In the land of Terre d'Ange Phèdre nó Delaunay has a destiny to fulfill... a violent and sexy destiny.
Review:
In a well written and insightful way Carey tells the story of Phèdre who is sold into slavery at a young age, she is being trained to be a sex slave when she is bought by a well to do man that takes the training she has had and builds on it to create a spy. As Phèdre grows up and as a plant in the noble class she ends up being privy to some of her nations greatest secrets and using this knowledge frees herself and goes on many adventures. The world Carey has created is amazing in its detail and the cultures of the people are very well thought out (and researched using earth history). I recommend this trilogy to anyone who enjoys fantasy / historical fiction / and doesn't mind a bit of smut (or alternately someone who likes smut and doesn't mind a bit of fantasy and historical fiction).
8/10
10/10
