1.) Did you like the book overall or not?
Most excellent.
2.) Do you feel it portraits BDSM in a real way, a positive way and/or your way?
It had maybe more of what I think I might like but still not to sure about how eclectic my tastes will be. I did like the simple fact that Phedre seems to a slave to her desires for pain.
3.) Did you like the sex scenes in the book?
There was but a little sex described in the book and while sex scenes are nice to read if written right its absence can be just as nice too.
4.) Did you like the rest of the book, the story in it?
I thought the intrigue and the deeper story was most rewarding especially when you find out who the mastermind is. Even the lessor character helped to drive the story on to its conclusion.
5.) Would you be interested in reading another book by this author?
Doing so now.
6.) What did you like best about this selection?
I liked how Carey decided to gift Phedre with the desire for pain just for pains sake at times and how she shows us this when she has her first client.
7.) What did you like the least?
That in my opinion you could not figure how who the real puppetmaster was.
8.) How would you have changed the story?
No.
Now for the bonus question.
Do you think that disregarding Kushiel's touch on Phedre's life that she and Melisande could be yen/yang characters.
I say yes, maybe this is a bit simplistic. At the core of both of these ladies you see their desire to achieve some lofty goals. Phedre and Melisande both seem to inspire others to do their bidding. Though its only when you see where their hearts and motives lie that you see just how much a paradox to each other are really are.
If you need to see more of how they are flipsides of the same coin just look how Melisande seems to be able to reach to Phedre's core and is the only one that go her signale. Or how Melisande on one of the Longest Nights how she led her pet Phedre around on a leash.
Most excellent.
