But the lovers' happiness is short lived, for Bao is entangled in a complication that soon leads to their betrayal.
Reviews
Wonderful read
4By Shanna808It was a very good read. Easy to get into and captures your interest all the way to the end. However it felt like a story already told...too many similarities to real history. A few parts were to preachy for my taste.Good but...
4By WyndnightAs a fan of her other books I thought this series is pretty good and worth the read. However it got a little tedious in this book with all the traveling and shrugging off of addiction. The author got the religious bits right and the story was engaging, of the two in this series the first is my favoriteAnother masterful entry...
5By HaethosNaamah's Curse expands the rich universe created by Carey in Kushiel's Dart. The story picks up after the events of Naamah's Kiss, with Moirin traveling across the length and breadth of Carey's alternate version of Asia. It was a joy to read and is another stroke of brilliance for the series.
