Finished reading Kushiel's Justice. The Kushiel books are funny, you know. I enjoy reading them, very much, the language is pretty, and the characters likeable, and I love Carey's sense of world building mixing real historic references with a sort of fantasy uchrony. Very, very pretty and shiny. And then I close the book and I think : there wasn't any plot in there.

There wasn't any plot in there. It's time passes sex scene travel travel time passes climax sex scene travel travel time passes travel climax travel travel travel travel the end. With two climaxes in the book the only two moments where something actually happen.

There were even less plot than in Kushiel's Scion, which was already pretty low on the plot quota.

Also Imriel is way too broody for my taste. Sweet kid, but he broods way too much. The book was lacking in Lucius, and too little of Mavros.

And it was still very enjoyable to read and made me feel much better.

Weird, heh?
