"In Kushiel's Dart, a daring young courtesan uncovered a plot to destroy her beloved homeland. But hers is only half the tale. Now see the other half of the heart that lived it. Cassiel's Servant is a retelling of cult favorite Kushiel's Dart from the point of view of Joscelin, Cassiline warrior-priest and protector of Ph�dre n� Delaunay. He's sworn to celibacy and the blade as surely as she's pledged to pleasure, but the gods they serve have bound them together. When both are betrayed, they must rely on each other to survive. From his earliest training to captivity amongst their enemies, his journey with Ph�dre to avert the conquest of Terre D'Ange shatters body and mind... and brings him an impossible love that he will do anything to keep. Even if it means breaking all vows and losing his soul"--… (meer)

I enjoyed this so much because I love the world of Tere d'Ange and Kushiel's Dart is one of my favorite books of all time. I don't think Cassiel's Servant is a necessary read but it can enhance your understanding and/or enjoyment of the first three books in the Kushiel's series. (

I read Kushiel's Dart (told on the same time-line as this but from a different POV) 20 years ago so it was wonderful to get to re-visit these characters and remember the story (

If you have read Kushiel's Dart and aren't keen to re-read it, the final 2/3 of this are a decent refresher without the steamy scenes. The first 1/3 is a competent but unexciting warrior training school story. Competent and unexciting is pretty much it for the whole book, really. (

This is the long anticipated book retelling Kushiel's Dart from Joscelin's point of view. Trained as a warrior from the age of 10, Joscelin is taught discipline, celibacy and self control. When he completes his training, and takes his vows as a warrior-priest, he is astonished to be posted to Phedre, a courtesan in the city of Elua. He quickly realizes there is more to Phedre and her household, and he slowly starts falling in love.

Although I enjoyed this book, it lacked the tension between Joscelin and Phedre that made Kushiel's Dart so intriguing and special. I enjoyed getting to know Joscelin's history and back-story, but that could have been done in a novella or stand alone book. As always, Carey's writing is artful and beautifully done. Overall 4 out of 5 stars. (
