Description Toward Books Kushiel's Mercy (Imriel's Trilogy #3)
Having learned a lesson about thwarting the will of the gods, Imriel and Sidonie publicly confess their affair, only to see the country boil over in turmoil. Younger generations, infatuated by their heart-twisting, star-cross romance, defend the couple. Many others cannot forget the betrayals of Imriel's mother, Melisande, who plunged their country into a bloody war that cost the lives of their fathers, brothers, and sons. To quell the unrest, Ysandre, the queen, sets her decree. She will not divide the lovers, yet neither will she acknowledge them. If they marry, Sidonie will be disinherited, losing her claim on the throne. There's only one way they can truly be together. Imriel must perform an act of faith: search the world for his infamous mother and bring her back to Terre d'Ange to be executed for treason. Facing a terrible choice, Imriel and Sidonie prepare ruefully for another long separation. But when a dark foreign force casts a shadow over Terre d'Ange and all the surrounding countries, their world is turned upside down, alliances of the unlikeliest kind are made, and Imriel and Sidonie learn that the god Elua always puts hearts together apurpose.Rating Appertaining To Books Kushiel's Mercy (Imriel's Trilogy #3)

In L. Sprague de Camp and Fletcher Pratt's Compleat Enchanter, Harold Shea is able to travel to the worlds of literature by focusing his mind on a mathematical formula, a mantra, if you will, that transports him to the worlds of the Norse sagas and Spenser's Faerie Queen, among others. If only that could happen. There are any number of worlds I would love to visit -- Tolkien's Middle Earth (of course), Cherryh's Union/Alliance universe, the Malazan Empire, the Hyborian Age, und so weiter...ButI do not know if the author had the same issue with me about the "size" of the story in comparition with the first trilogy but certainly in this third and final part she decided to make things quite "bigger", more epic if you prefer. To achieve this he turned to more traditional "tools" in the plot elements mainly found in classic tales. A call to a great achievement as proof of love and a spell of a powerful magician who needs ... hassle to solve is enough to untie the story and send our hero
My favourite book in this series, this was an amazing story! Oh Miss Carey, sometimes the scope of your imagination makes me dissolve into a teary eyed, babbling creature. When Imriel had to go to a faraway land to make Sidonie fall in love with him all over again in a different skin with no memory of her ties to him due to an evil enchantment, that was... truly EPIC! Hugely recommended series! What a couple...
Whew! Finally, I am done with this second trilogy (in a trilogy of trilogies). I might need to take a break before I tackle the last three. As always, Carey pulls no punches (but of course, there is the requisite happy ending. I doubt that is a surprise to anyone.) and crams in at least three novels' worth of story into one. Very pleased. (And glad to be done for the moment.)Highly recommend this series!
I'm really on the fence about this book. I'm on the fence about the whole Imriel Trilogy, really. When I started reading it, I expected a grand tale about a journey into the darkness of the heart, exploring the power of Imriel's Kusheline blood and all building up to the search for Melisande. What Carey gave us was, at its core, a love story. Part of me wants to commend her for not making Imriel into Phedre Version 2.0 and having three novels of how he becomes a hero of the realm. In fact, she
Kushiels Mercy is the sixth book in Careys Terre dAnge adventures, and the third book in the Imriel de la Courcels story. It is the conclusion of his trilogy and honestly, I only read it for the sake of completion. Thus far, neither of the two trilogies that followed Phédre no Delauneys own have been nearly as good, mostly because of the main characters. Prince Imriel de la Courcel is the son of the beautiful traitor, Melisandre Sharizai. He was kidnapped into slavery, rescued and later adopted
I could not finish.... Nothing new is happening beyond some slapping the princess' ass :-/And the sickeningly lovey dovey couple hype is getting too much for me.
