Naamah's Blessing (Naamah Trilogy #3) 
As tensions mount, King Daniel asks that Moirin become Desirée's oath-sworn protector. Navigating the intricate political landscape of the Court proves a difficult challenge, and when dire news arrives from overseas, the spirit of Queen Jehanne visits Moirin in a dream and bids her undertake an impossible quest.
Another specter from the past also haunts Moirin. Travelling with Thierry in the New World is Raphael de Mereliot, her manipulative former lover. Years ago, Raphael forced her to help him summon fallen angels in the hopes of acquiring mystical gifts and knowledge. It was a disastrous effort that nearly killed them, and Moirin must finally bear the costs of those bitter mistakes.
There was blood, darkness, and flowers.I shut my eyes.I didn't want to see the end. How do I explain what this series means to me? Nine books, three interconnected trilogies, 7,162 pages; one massive amazing saga.On new years day 2015 I picked up my battered second hand copy of Kushiel's Dart. I'd had it around for ages, and reviews were mixed, but hey it was cold out and I was in no mood to get off the couch; why not give a new fantasy a try?In a very short amount of time it was very clear -
So it had been quite a while since last I checked in with Moirin and Bao (I'm not sure exactly when I read the second book in the trilogy, but it was sometime before I started using Goodreads in early 2011), but happily it didn't take too long to bring myself back up to speed.In the previous book (Naamah's Curse), Moirin had gone haring off from Terre d'Ange (which I only just this second realized, after 9 books and about 5,000 total pages, means "Land of the Angels") into not-China and

Naamah's Blessing ends the Moirin saga and possibly the Angeline/Kushiel 9 book series in great style - though the author left open the possibilities of more and I think there is great potential in a story set in another hundred years or two and dealing with technological expansion rather than the huge geographical expansion here.The book returns to the exuberance of the first volume - though there are quite a few dark moments since no Legacy Kushiel is complete without them - and it was all
In Jacqueline Carey's alternate world, Terre d'Ange is the center of the civilized universe. Or, at least it certainly thinks it is. And it is not so much different from the 15th century France that it most resembles. Use that information to give yourself a time and place reference for technology/industry/civilization and otherwise, let everything else slip away. The world of Terre d'Ange is not our world, except, perhaps as it might have been, if it had been founded by fallen angels. The
Though it did show signs of greatness akin to those which made the previous Terre d'Ange novels such incredible reads, I felt that Naamah's Kiss turned out to be Jacqueline Carey's weakest Kushiel-related work to date. Given the originality and the quality of its predecessors, Naamah's Kiss and the next two installments had big shoes to fill. Which is quite unfair as far as expectations go, but that's the way love goes.Weakest installment or not, Naamah's Kiss was nonetheless better than most
Finished this over a month ago, and just got around to reviewing it. I don't think that's a comment on the book, which I liked, but it might say something about my enthusiasm for doing these reviews anymore.This one is the ninth book in the Terre D'Ange series, and the third and last of the Moirin books. There have been a lot of "mayhaps" along the way. And, for following fairly similar formulas, the books have been remarkably good. In this one, Moirin and Bao have to travel to the Americas, or
