Excelente libro.......2005-11-02

Este libro me enseñó un camino a seguir, siguiendo un modelo perfecto como lo es María. Ella siendo su madre, lo amó como se puede amar a un hijo, Cristo siendo el hijo la amó como se puede amar a una madre, de hecho como dice el libro: Si quisiéramos imitar a Jesús, tendríamos necesariamente que amar a la Virgen Santísima. Amarla como Cristo la amó, escucharla como Cristo la escuchó, venerarla -No adorarla- como su hijo divino la veneró. Y al final fijándonos en ella terminaríamos con la respuesta que les dio a los criados en las bodas de Caná: "Haced lo que Él les diga".

Les recomiendo ampliamente este libro, escrito de una manera elocuente, lleno espiritualidad e identificación humana con
María y fácil de llevar.

Book Description

The land of Terre d'Ange is a place of unsurpassed beauty and grace. It is said that angels found the land and saw it was good .... and the ensuing race that rose from the seed of angels and men live by one simple rule: Love as thou wilt.Phegrave;dre noacute; Delaunay is a woman pricked by Kushiel's Dart, chosen to forever experience pain and pleasure as one. Her path has been strange and dangerous, and through it all the devoted swordsman Joscelin has been at her side. Her very nature is a torturous thing for them both, but he is sworn to her and he has never violated his vow: to protect and serve.But Phegrave;dre's plans put Joscelin's pledge to the test, for she has never forgotten her childhood friend Hyacinthe. She has spent ten long years searching for the key to free him from his eternal indenture, a bargain he struck with the gods-- to take Phegrave;dre's place as a sacrifice and save a nation. Phegrave;dre cannot forgive-- herself or the gods. She is determined to seize one last hope to redeem her friend, even of it means her death.The search will bring Phegrave;dre and Joscelin across the world, to distant courts where madness reigns and souls are currency, and down a fabled river to a land forgotten by most of the world.And to a power so mighty that none dare speak its name.

Powerful! Sensual!Erotic! Action-packed! WOW! WOW!.......2007-08-20

The 3rd instalment in this trilogy is as strong and powerful as the first! Jacqueline Carey is one of these rare authors who can write ad infinitum - but IMO with excellent skills in describing the plot, the action,the land,the adventures, the pleasure of pain of Phedre,the sensual and deep love of Josceline and Phedre, the fear and terror in the seraglio and the characters in each plot! Ms. Carey includes s&m but describes it in such a way that we almost feel what Phedre feels. The human degradation of slavery mixes with the exultation of defeating another enemy! The utter helplessness, yet sexual yearning of Phedre in the presence of Melisande. I could read the story of Phedre, Joscelin,Imriel & Melisande forever.
What makes these stories so compelling Carey's attention to every detail of each country that Phedre travels through including the language,customs, beliefs, clothing,etc. Ms.Carey puts you BESIDE Phedre and Joscelin and you see and feel what they both do! Joscelin is sexy and beautiful and Phedre puts his courage and love to the test at every turn, only to find themselves falling more deeply in love with each other. Then of course Phedre faces the Master of Straits in hopes of releasing her beloved friend Hyacinthe. Don't let me get started there!
Have already started reading the second trilogy. I want more!

Now That's How it's Done!.......2007-08-11

The first time I attempted to read this book, I believe a couple of years ago, I put it down shortly in, frustrated with the meanderings through Carey's mythology. Okay, okay...my bad. I should have stuck it out and just kept reading.

This is the proper way to end a trilogy. Yeah, I know, all 5 of the books out now are supposed to be part of "Kushiel's Legacy" but the first three are obviously separate from the following books.

While there was plenty of adventure to be had in the first two, in Kushiel's Avatar things get extremely fascinating. There are the downtimes typical in Carey's novels, of course, so there are some parts that bog down a bit. However Phedre's quest this time is more than interesting enough to make up for it.
It isn't just the trek across a large portion of Carey's world, which is a mixture of myth, history, and alternate history, and extremely impressive in the amount of research the author has obviously done. As intriguing as the journey is--massively, so you know--I'm please with Carey's character work here more than anything else.

Okay, yeah, Phedre has some pretty good Mary Sue potential, being clever, intelligent, and divinely beautiful. What I like is that Phedre remains what she is: a courtesan and a spy. She never becomes a warrior in any sense of the word. Often enough such characters will in time become great fighters, making them utterly self-sufficient and independent. Not Phedre. She grows and changes most definitely, though.
In Avatar her "gift" really shows itself as a curse in many ways. Her frustration with it, and her horror at the things it causes her to enjoy, are well-wrought and come across very human. That she achieves many of her goals through use of Kushiel's Dart has been a fact of all 3 books, but never before has Carey set it to such a dark, macabre purpose. (To note, if you've found such things disturbing in the previous two, this one may be downright upsetting for you.)

And Joscelin! Now there is a beautiful peice of character work. Throughout all three books his growth has been consistent and written well. By the end of Avatar he is a long way from the uptight Cassiline Brother he used to be, but the path he's taken has been such that his development doesn't ring false in any way. It's easy enough for an author to just decide to change a character but here you can clearly see the connection between the trials Joscelin goes through and the person he becomes.

I've read enough trilogies to know that plenty of authors drop the ball at this point. Why that is, I don't know. But Carey most emphatically doesn't in Kushiel's Avatar. She's done what should be done: improved the whole way through, making the last book the very best one.

Geography lesson.......2007-05-11

Once again we follow Phedre and the faithful Joscelin into the dreaded Kingdom of Drujan to face the dark Mahrkagir and rescue Imriel, the son of Melisande Sharizhai. When this task is completed Melisande will hand over the "Name of the One god" which could lead to a way to save Hyacinthe, the trapped Master of the Straits and Phedre's long lost friend.

"Kushiel's Dart" could safely be put under the realm of fantasy, and "Kushiel's Chosen" could probably nip past that line as well. The problem with "Kushiel's avatar" is that it isn't fantasy --it's cannibalism. In the past two novels we have been bestowed a number of situations that show a dutiful amount of imagination: Hyacinthe being trapped as the master of the straights, or even Melisande's political intrigue. In "Avatar" Carey seems to have exhausted the political and sexual tension surrounding the city of Elua and decides to expand the edges of the map, but this is where the problem starts. Instead of expanding the map it seems more likely Joscelin and Phedre fell off it and into Carey's own universe Terra Firma aka Earth (More specifically the Mediterranean sea, and what is either the Arabian peninsula or Egypt or quite possibly both). This must explain why the language of the kingdom of Drujan sounds so similar to pseudo-Arabic with it's vast insertion j's, s's, h's and n's, why Mahrkagir sounds suspiciously a little like Maharajah (although wrong country), and most definitely why the evil Skotophagoti cult sounds so similar to our word Sarcophagi. Readers can usually deal with a little change-a-letter-here-change-one-there (La Serrasina as Venice was okay). However it doesn't really stop at geography. Instead of trying to come up with some new cultures to flesh out the world of Terra d'Ange Carey inserts exoticism and Eastern mysticism in the hopes that it will distract enough from the lack of. The same old plot routines are followed, the Priests of Angra-Mainyu make human sacrifices ala Indiana Jones and the Temple of doom, the Mahrkagir's previous favorite was from the East, had long straight black hair and seemed to be from the land of Chi'in (China), the evil nature of the Mahrkagir is explained away with childhood trama, Drujan is a religious autocracy whose people live in fear etc etc etc.

As in any Jacqueline Carey novel the eroticism comes up like clockwork --maybe every 20-30 pages. They seem to follow the same lines as all the other books marked by roundabout euphemisms and bedroom exoticism. Although in "Avatar" the believability of Phedre's fortitude to the cruelty of the Mahrkagir, even as Kushiel's chosen, seems stretched as the scenes are dark and rather off-putting.

Putting all that aside we come to the main characters and most importantly Phedre no Delaunay herself. We can appreciate Phedre in a number of ways. Anafiel Delaunay taught her well: she's crafty, she has a great mind for politics and seduction, she's selfless, she's put with a lot of deaths, her gift is also a curse, she can even tumble. In "Avatar" the struggles become even more intense and as Phedre's skills increase exponentially Carey steers dangerously close to toeing the limit line of Mary-Sue (if she wasn't already. Look at the rhyme scheme and count the number of syllables in Phedre Delaunay then compare it to the author). Phedre seems beyond capable. Not only can she handle the cruel Mahrkabir, at the same time she can befriend his entire zenana (harem), look through acres of religious texts while learning the obscure language it is written in, and become a mother figure for Imriel, while balancing out her courtesan duties just to name a few. She seemed more human, more real in the previous books and perhaps that's why she seemed more sincere there. The one saving grace character in this book in Joscelin who is not only a constant presence at Phedre's side, but thankfully he remains the steadfast Cassiline monk whose love and tensions with Phedre remain about the same.

My own opinion --these differ-- is if you see it somewhere and want a quick 2 or 3 hour run-through book with some familiar geography you could consider trying this, or better yet consider the two previous ones --they're decent.

"Dark" is not enough of a description.......2007-04-21

I love the characters of Phaedre and Joscelin. And despite the sadism I enjoyed Kushiel's Dart and this book, for the lush descriptions of clothing, cultures and travels; and the characters themselves. But to warn anyone who has not yet read these books, there are very, very graphic descriptions of sadistic sex including cutting, burning, and flesh tearing. Most of the reviewers coyly sidestep this issue by simply saying the story is "dark". The sickening, horribly sadistic sex scenes when the characters are in Drujan in this book really bothered me. Perhaps I have too good of an imagination... reading scenes like that or seeing them in a movie, they are much too real to me.

Kushiels Avatar.......2007-01-16

After much anticipation and being unable to find this book, ANYWHERE, in NZ, I turned to Amazon and had the book delivered unbelievably fast. Phedre's adventure has seen me through the summer holidays and I am looking forward to cracking open Kushiel's Scion. Not exactly happy with the quality of the book as pages are falling out after only one read. I will survive however !!

Product Description

This is a two-in-one volume with both of Jacqueline Carey's top sellers Banewreaker and Godslayer. (Inside jacket: with her successful Kushiel series, Jacqueline Carey proved herself a force to be reckoned with in the fantasy field. Now she returns with another extraordinary epic, a shattering tale of gods at ware and the mortals they use in their deadly game.) Once the Seven Shapers dwelled in accord. First-born among them was Haomane, Lord-of-Thought, and with his six sibling gods, they Shaped the world and its children to their will. But Haomane was displeased with Satoris' Shaping, for he thought his younger brother too generous in his gifts to Men, who made war upon Hoamane's Children, the Ellylon. Though the First-Born asked his brother to withdraw his Gift, Satoris refused. So began the Shapers' War, which sundered the world and cast Satoris and his kindred to opposite ends of a vast ocean.

An extraordinarily complex, moving achievement.......2007-07-13

Yes, I have read and loved all the Kushiel series; they are astonishing, wonderful books. Yet those who pick up the two volumes of the Sundering because they loved Phedre, and come away disappointed and complain the books fail to measure up, are missing the point entirely. These books are a different genre, and a different kind of accomplishment; they are a fantasy epic which is also a philosophical and ethical critique of the epic genre.

Of course, the similarily in narrative structure to the Tolkien epics is conscious and purposeful. Almost every character from the Lord of the Rings is found here: Gandalf-Malthus, Frodo-Dani, Aragorn-Aracus. Previous reviewers may have missed that the arguable "heroes" of this story, Tanaros Cavaros and the "Misbegotten" Ushahin Dreamspinner, are analogous to the leader of the Ringwraiths and Gollum. And Satoris Banewreaker, of course, is the Sauron who the Elves/Ellylon so lyrically claim to be bent on the destruction of all that is good and beautiful, working tirelessly "to cover all the world in a SECOND darkness!!!"

I wonder, how many of us who read and loved the Lord of the Rings ever wondered why Sauron would wish such a thing? Did the explanations of his motivations ever seem thin? Sauron was supposed to have created the Orcs "in savage mockery" of the Elves; a force of pure evil, needing no purpose other than destruction, with no desires, even in creation, except to mock and ruin. What Carey's epic is meant to show, and it succeeds beautifully, is that there are no such villains. There can be no races, such as the Orcs in Tolkien, without redeeming characteristics. To exist at all, especially to exist as a living community of any kind, living creatures must manifest certain virtues. The "Orcs" on the Sundering epic are ugly, certainly, and the "Elves" fear and despise them; yet Carey shows the Ellylon hatred and fear of the trollish Fjel as a product of their own limited aesthetics and the enmity between their races. The Fjel lack the beauties and brains of Elves and Men, yet they are real creatures, and therefore, in order for them to continue as a race at all, they must reproduce and rear their children, they must have some forms of love and loyalty. As this epic unfolds, the awareness grows in the reader that the "orcs" of Tolkien could never have been anything but a savagely distorted picture, a lie wrought by those who hated them from a distance. The power of the Ellylon to tell their stories with beauty, and thus inscribe their point of view as history, is explicitly thematized by Carey's hero Tanaros, who reminds the lovely Ellyl lady that every story has two sides, and that no Elf or Man has ever listened to the stories of the Fjel.

Tanaros himself stands as one of only two counter-examples; he himself is a Man, one who once served the ruling house of the oldest of Men's kingdoms. Once a hero in the best epic style, a loyal general who loved his king and his wife, now he is the most famous villain of his own race of origin. Long ago, he discovered his wife's new child to be, not his own son, but the son of his own best friend and beloved liege. The power of his loves fueled the violent madness of his hatred when those loves were betrayed, and he killed both his wife and her lover. Only in the service of Satoris can he re-discover loyalty and purpose, as only Satoris was willing to allow him the "dignity of his hatred" and allow him the chance to make a new life. The kingdoms of Men call Tanaros "Wifeslayer" the worst of comicbook villains, and see his service to Satoris as simply confirming how evil he is; a man who killed both wife and king could only flee to bad black Satoris in his evil dark fortress. Yet Carey shows us Darkhaven through the eyes of Tanaros as a haven, a place of beauty and dignity, and Satoris as the being who has given Tanaros sanctuary-- as well as a love that has never failed nor been untrue.

The Darkhaven of this epic, this Mordor, was built by Satoris after his first war with his older brother, who, wrathful at his younger brother's refusal to obey, burned the world with the fires of the sun and left Satoris wounded and scorched. Darkhaven is dark not to symbolize evil, but because light hurts as well as illuminates, and because fire is the weapon of the elder Shaper who believes, on thin grounds, that his own will is the entirety of truth and goodness, and that Satoris' refusal to obey him is the essence of wrong and evil. Darkhaven is guarded by Fjeltroll and staffed by madlings, and here is the poignant heart of Carey's vision. For Tanaros is only one of the ambiguous and complex heroes of this story. The other is his counterpart Ushahin, like Tanaros a byword for evil among the Elves and Men of this world, and like him a product of the very world and races who fear and hate him.

Ushahin Dreamspinner, unique in this fantasyworld, is half Ellyl and half mortal Man. The Ellyl, children of Haomane FirstBorn, are a race gifted with mind and heart, rationality and love, but immortal, and without the gift Satoris was asked to give to every other race: Desire. It was Haomane's command that Satoris withdraw Desire from Men which Satoris refused, the refusal for which he is called the Sunderer. Desire is an ambiguous gift, and one both Men and Elves find easy to blame for the crime one Man committed upon a daughter of the Ellylon; the crime of rape. Ushahin Dreamspinner was conceived in that rape, abandoned by the kindred of both parents, and almost killed in childhood by a crowd of other children with rocks. His appearance is all the more monstrous for the remains of remarkable beauty ruined, elegant bones shattered and ill set, wide-set eyes permanently dilated and crazed; he embodies all the horror of human cruelty and callousness, and walks in their dreams to show them the image of a child's fist with a rock breaking another child's face to bits. Called "The Misbegotten" by both the races from which he sprang, Ushahin serves Lord Satoris for the sanctuary Satoris gives to all the mad and broken of the world, those Ushahin calls to Darkhaven where they are safe and loved.

It is Satoris' relationship with Ushahin and his madlings that thematizes the true heart of this amazing critique of epic storytelling, this reply to Tolkien's brutal aesthetic of bright beautiful Elves versus nasty ugly orcs. When the lovely Ellylon lady arrives in Darkhaven and learns that it is a sanctuary for madlings, for all those beings broken and maimed by the cruelty of the world, she is of course appalled. The lovely, the perfect lady, of course she cannot fail to feel pity and mourn for the victims of cruelty and neglect who find safety and love in Darkhaven. Yet she protests they could be fixed, that Satoris ought to heal them and make them pretty again, a response that Tanaros shows in its selfishness with his reply: "To my lord Satoris, she is already beautiful." He loves them as they are, and finds the beauty they have in themselves, not needing to transform them into pretty elf maidens to find them lovely. Similarly, the Ellylon cannot realize the limitations of their own attitudes towards the half-elven Ushahin; they blame Satoris for not "fixing" him, never imagining that it is tghe Dreamspinner himself who refuses to be "healed" to erase the signs of what has made him what he is.

The Elves can only imagine beauty as being like themselves: perfect, tall, glowing with light, and above all, lucky. The scars of the unlucky, of all those who have been hurt, the stories of all those whose lives have been shaped by pain-- they can only see those things as flaws to be erased. What the limited aesthetic of the Ellylon cannot understand as valuable is the same thing that disappears in the caricatures of "orcs"-- the values and features of *life*. Life that struggles through pain and trauma, life that nurtures young, life that makes the best of ambiguity, life that goes on imperfectly.

It is finally an aesthetic of life with which Carey counters the simplistic aesthetic of epic in the Tolkien vein. In place of a god whose mysterious will must be obeyed as the definition of Goodness, we have a god who wishes only to live as he sees best, and survive the despite of his older brother's wrath. Haomane First-Born believes his own vision to be the definition of truth and reality, and his own will as the determiner of goodness. In such a belief-system there can only be one kind of choice: obedience is good, and defiance, evil. Counterpoised to that simplistic lie, Carey gives us a meditation on the nature of choice as life-determining, or choice and responsibility, of truth itself as ambiguity and complexity.

Good first half of a story. What next?.......2007-04-15

I love Jacqueline Carey's series about Phedre, beginning with Kushiel's Dart. It is one of my favorite stories. I also enjoyed The Sundering, though not as much.

The Sundering is a takeoff on Lord of the Rings, upside down. Sauron is the good guy here, and Gandalf is the bad guy. Frodo is a bit of a dupe, sent to destroy Sauron's power, even though Sauron was much kinder to him than the good guys ever were.

In this story, Gandalf's name is Malthus. "Mal" means something bad, as in malady. Frodo's name is Dani. He is accompanied by his uncle Bilbo, whose name here is Fat Uncle Thulu.

The dwarves are intact, but the elves are here called Ellylon, and are not as short as the elves of LOTR. Instead, they are the size of the elves in the LOTR movie, man-size.

Aragorn is in this story as well. His name is Aracus Altorus rather than Aragorn son of Arathorn. Same guy. Leader of the Borderguard, and the hereditary king. And as in LOTR he is scheduled to marry an elf, the Ellylon beauty Cerelinde.

Sauron, here called Satoris, isn't half bad. He inspires love and loyalty. It is his big brother Haomane who is the real pain in the butt. All of Satoris's brothers and sisters have ditched our world, gone across the sea, I suppose across the Atlantic Ocean to settle in America while the action of the story is in Europe, more or less, though Haomane's home is described as an island, not a continent.

Haomane wages unjust war against Satoris. On Satoris's side are Jackie's version of orcs or trolls, which she calls fjeltrol. They are big and strong and ugly. They are bigger than humans. But they have hearts of gold and are the good guys. The beautiful Ellylon are a bit of a load, conceited as all hell. So while Tolkein made it obvious who to root for because his good guys were cute and his bad guys were ugly, Carey turns that upside down for us. Ugly good guys, cute bad guys.

I was confused with some of her terminology. Souma. Soumanie. Marasoumie. Rhios. Half the time I barely knew what she was talking about when she mentioned these things. Apparently there is a lot of magic in her world, and the souma is a great source of magic.

Her characters are so interesting that I always wish the books were illustrated.

The main additions she has to LOTR are some new characters. Satoris (Sauron) has his three main helpers. I suppose they could be compared to the ring wraiths, and once in a while one of them is a Black Rider, but these three really aren't ring wraiths, and have interesting characters of their own. One of them, Tanaros, is the star of the book.

I enjoyed this book but it cries out for a sequel. Everything about the ending screams out SEQUEL.

A tragedy.......2006-05-27

This is an interesting book. The world is believable. the different races recognizable. It is told from the perspective of Satoris, the third born shaper of the world. He is supposed to be the bad guy that caused the world to be sundered.

And war is coming. It is led by the children of the first born shaper, Satoris' brother Haomane. They are allegedly the good guys. So now we have a classic battle between good and evil, only good isn't that good, and evil might actually be innocent of the charges against him.

I found myself cheering for Satoris as everything about him fell apart. I really didn't like Haomane at all. There are magical weapons, prophecies, but no one becomes all powerful that none can stand before him.

This is a story filled with rich characters, and they experience the spectrum of love, betrayal, honor and pride. This is good story and fine fantasy.

Product Description

The first 4 books in the Kushiel's Legacy series, which is set in the country of Terre d'Ange (resembling medieval France). D'Angelines, as the citizens are called, believe they are descended from Blessed Elua and his band of fallen angels. Elua was born when the blood of the crucified Yeshua ben Yosef, the son of the One God, mixed with the tears of the Magdalene and then was quickened by Mother Earth. Scorned by his grandfather, the One God, Elua wandered the Earth with eight companion angels, who had rejected God to follow him. The eight were Naamah, Anael, Azza, Shemhazai, Camael, Cassiel, Eisheth, and Kushiel. The companions finally settled in the land that would be become Terre D'Ange. Elua espoused the precept Love as thou wilt and he and his companions inter-bred with the native populace, creating the D'Angeline people.
