I'm always nervous when a favorite author breaks away from her original, beloved characters to extend a world's story in a different direction, but "Naamah's Kiss" is a worthy successor to the stories of Phedre and Imriel. Moirin's story is filled with adventure, passion, danger, and the mysterious but constant calling of her destiny. It is less complex and intricate than Phedre's story, but I found it more satisfying than that of Imriel. I look forward to the next installment. Naamah’s Kiss is the beginning of the third and final trilogy in the Kushiel’s Universe series. The second trilogy had taken place shortly after the first trilogy and followed a character we’d already met. This one, on the other hand, is set about 100 years later and introduces us to a brand new character, Moirin. Early in the book we learn that she’s the great, great granddaughter of I spent the first couple of pages mourning all my favorite characters from the previous two trilogies, but then I became wrapped up in this new character’s story. I think the author’s writing continually improves throughout these books. For the most part I was engrossed, and that was despite not always liking Moirin’s decisions and also finding some of the secondary characters to be a bit annoying. I still liked Moirin herself and cared about what happened to her, and there were other secondary characters that I did like. The story was good, and it made me smile or laugh several times. I did think Moirin adapted to the changes in her life too easily to be believable considering her past, so that sometimes pulled me out of the story to scoff, but I was mostly able to overlook it. I also like how the author has made each trilogy's main character and story distinct, with different types of magic and different types of problems. Sometimes things start to feel repetitive or recycled in a long series, especially if it has subseries that each focus on later generations, but I haven’t had that feeling with this one. I’m giving this 4.5 stars and rounding up to 5 on Goodreads. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

HTML:Once there were great magicians born to the Maghuin Dhonn; the folk of the Brown Bear, the oldest tribe in Alba. But generations ago, the greatest of them all broke a sacred oath sworn in the name of all his people. Now, only small gifts remain to them. Through her lineage, Moirin possesses such gifts - the ability to summon the twilight and conceal herself, and the skill to coax plants to grow. Moirin has a secret, too. From childhood onward, she senses the presence of unfamiliar gods in her life; the bright lady, and the man with a seedling cupped in his palm. Raised in the wilderness by her reclusive mother, it isn't until she comes of age that Moirin learns how illustrious, if mixed, her heritage is. The great granddaughter of Alais the Wise, child of the Maghuin Donn, and a cousin of the Cruarch of Alba, Moirin learns her father was a D'Angeline priest dedicated to serving Naamah, goddess of desire. After Moirin undergoes the rites of adulthood, she finds divine acceptance...on the condition that she fulfill an unknown destiny that lies somewhere beyond the ocean. Or perhaps oceans. Beyond Terre d'Ange where she finds her father, in the far reaches of distant Ch'in, Moirin's skills are a true gift when facing the vengeful plans of an ambitious mage, a noble warrior princess desperate to save her father's throne, and the spirit of a celestial dragon.

This new character is so completely different and yet amazing. I fell in love with her naivette and how she learned. Everything. Her new cohorts. Those she lost, those she loved, how she saw The Lady and The Lord and her Bear. And everything. ( )
