Naamah's Kiss returns us to Carey's well thought out fantasy world. Moirin, the daughter of a D'Angeline Priest and a Maghuin Dhonn woman, begins this story in Alba, more than two generations after Prince Imriel slays Berlik.

I found the story to be compelling and captivating and the characters deep and rich. The adventure theme is similar to Phedre and Imri's stories, in that, Moirin has been handed a destiny by the Bear Goddess of the Maghuin Dhonn. The elements of desire, magic and danger are all present as are bloody battles and the ever present egos of the D'Angeline peerage. The erotic scenes in this book tend to lean more to the lesbian side, but there are hetero scenes as well. Overall this is an excellent story and I can't wait to read the next.
