ReplyDeleteMy faaaavorite was easily Kushiel's Avatar, probably because it brought Imriel and Phedre together.
Kushiel's Dart will always have a special place in my heart, but I love pretty much all of them! But just for simplicities sake and not having to spend the next how ever long to figure out which one I like "best"... I'll simply say Dart is my favorite!
ReplyDeleteHope I win.

Kushiel's Justice, definitely.
ReplyDeletegolugranu @ gmail.com
Kushiel's Justice is probably my favorite because of the amount of character-development Imriel goes through during all his trials between Sidonie and Dorelei throughout the book.

I'd have to say Kushiel's Justice. It was the first one I read (just kind of stumbled upon it) so I was immediately thrown into the love of Imriel and Sidonie and couldn't get enough. Second is probably Avatar since that's how they find Imriel. But I love them all!!!

Kushiel's Dart, hands down. It kicks off an incredibly complicated and yet clearly understandable series, with a flourish.

Kushiel's Scion. Because even though I adored Phedre's 'voice' Imri got to me in ways that I didn't think were possible.

Kushiel's Avatar, but really only because I have to pick one.
ReplyDeleteantifloyd@rocketmail.com
I like Dart the best because it has the most action and betrayal. The first book in a series, and the first I read by Carey, is hard to beat based on pure awe and excitement of a new story to ingest. Second favorite is probably Namaah's Curse which you didn't list as an option but is good.
ReplyDeleteLasairfiona (at) gmail dot com
Kushiel's Avatar was probably my favorite because it was very dark but ended so well.
ReplyDeleteMjlee15 (at) gmail.com
Kushiel's Dart it made me fall in love with this series and I am so glad I found it. I have read it so many times and I still cry at the exact same part <3
ReplyDeleteWow, awesome idea. I will put my 2 cents in for Kushiel's Avatar. The climax of the series hit me so hard, with the twist at the heartstrings that was intensely cathartic. The characters grew, and became so strong. It was a fantastic wrap up of the trilogy that will always stick with me.
ReplyDeleteI only picked up Santa Olivia this Summer on a whim, and I'm so glad I did. These characters are every bit as deep and fun to read about.
Thanks for the contest!

Kushiel's Dart, because it's the only one I've read so far =) I fell in love with Santa Olivia and decided to try so of Miss Carey's other works.
ReplyDeleteemerald_dragon@abv.bg
My favorite is of course Kushiels Dart, it starts off everything and my second would have to be kushiels Justice I adore Sidonie and Imriel together. I would love to win this i love all her books and ive recently started collecting all the Santa Olivia books recently after i had read all the kushiels so many times the books are so dog eared lol

Kushiel's Chosen was my favorite. Mostly because Phedre kicks ass. She is such a powerful woman in such unexpected ways. And that book introduced some great supportive characters that I thoroughly enjoyed!
ReplyDeletejkcreations.jennifer@gmail.com
Oh choosing is just so difficult. I'm with you that her writing is amazing not just for the plot lines. But if I had to pick I would say Kushiel's Dart. For me that first dive into the realm of Terre d'Ange and the world she brings to life on page is priceless. I find that none of the others books can surpass this introduction to Phèdre nó Delaunay and the start of such great stories. I'd love Saints Astray, especially signed!, as I am a fan of all Jacqueline Carey writing and have read them all numerous times. Email: kimslice18@hotmail.com Thank you for the chance!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite is Kushiel's Dart because Jacqueline Carey introduces Phedre and Joscelin and you can tell that they will end up happily ever after, but they won't like it at times. How much more romantic can you get? Kidnapped, nearly killed, then saving your country from the hottest villain alive?

The difficult choice goes to Kushiel's Scion. Not only does Imri start to come into his own but I enjoyed discovering more about the depths a parent, both adopted and by blood, would go to see their child's full potential flourish.

Kushiel's Dart! All of my favorite characters are alive, raw, and pulling on my heart strings! Without it none of the others would be possible!

How to choose? I've read every one of Carey's books and they all have a place on my bookshelf and in my heart. I have to go with Kushiel's Dart because that book is why I fell in love with the series in the first place. Kushiel's Avatar is a close second. She is my favorite author, hands down.

ReplyDeletemyworldofbooks18 at hotmail dot com
Thanks for the giveaway
It's hard to pick a favorite. Very hard. The one that got to me most was Kushiel's Chosen however, simply because of the parting and re-uniting of Phedre and Joscelin. It is a strong undercurrent that eventually forges the story and luckily ends with the realization they simply can't do without eachother, despite (or thanks to?) their immense differences.

Kushie's Justice is my favorite, followed closely by Kushiel's Avatar.
ReplyDeletefishercry@hotmail.com
Kushiel's Dart has to be my choice. I was instantly hooked when I read it, and it was the beginning of such a wonderful series.
ReplyDeletenicolercrawford@gmail.com
My favorite would have to be the first one, Kushiel's Dart, because it opened up a whole new and amazing world and introduced me to the amazing Jacqueline Carey (now my all-time favorite author). My email address is a_e_o101@hotmail.com. Hope you pick me! :D
ReplyDeleteKushiel's Avatar has to be my favorite, which is kind of odd when I think about it. It's the book I dread most when I find myself beginning the series anew. The thing is, the darkness in the book throws the light into such sharp relief, it's spellbinding! Even knowing all the twists and turns, and even the outcome, I still find myself crying, and even yelling or cheering out loud. I fell in love with so many characters in Kushiel's Dart and Kushiel's Chosen, but it was in Kushiel's Avatar that this love grew into something unconditional. I would have forgiven them anything after that.
ReplyDeleteI'm enjoying reading others' answers. This is a fun contest! Thank you!

I have to say Kushiel's Dart. It was my first experience in the world of Phedre, and I fell in love with the entire series.

My choice is Kushiel's Dart, how can you not love the beginning of it all.
ReplyDeleteKushiel's Dart has to be my favorite, just because it is the book that introduces the love of my life (erm, I mean the series) to me. I am on my third copy of the book, the other two fell apart from too much use!

My favourite is Kushiel's Dart. To see Phedre's awakening to the woman she would become... the beginning of a love affair that would last her whole life... the words, that no matter how many times you read them, are still as powerful as the first.
ReplyDeleteThanks Deb!

"Dart" is my favorite. Sets the stage for the entire 3 series and without it, well we wouldn't have this question!!!
ReplyDeleteLoved all the Phedre books (and some of the Imri ones), but I have to say that Kushiel's Avatar was my favorite. It was just so epic, both with all they go through in Drujan and what it does to all 3 of them, and then the journey back and forth to get the Name of God. Too amazing!
ReplyDeleteSanta Olivia was wonderful in its own way, and I can't wait to read more of the Santitos adventures.
Thanks for posting about this!

I love Kushiel's Dart!!! It was an amazing start to an epic adventure. The world and characters are beautifully fleshed out.
ReplyDeleteI adore Ms Carey's writing for her ability to change voices and the depth in which she develops her worlds. Strong female characters are also a plus. I keep hoping HBO (or whoever) will pick up one of her novels and turn it into a series.
ReplyDeleteHard question! Kushiel's Dart is the one I have highlighted the most (no one writes as beautifully as Jacqueline Carey) and some of those passages really stick with you! She was also at her most carefree in the beginning of the book, and her and Hyacinth's childhood relationship is great to read about.
ReplyDeletejalenosinski at gmail dot com
It's really hard to pick just one! Dart will always be special to me because it was the beginning of the awesome journey through the series. The line, “that which yields is not always weak", struck me and sticks with me everyday (in the form of a tattoo).
ReplyDeleteI love Avatar because not only does it get extremely dark but it does such a wonderful job at showing the healing powers of love.
And lastly, Justice. As much as I love Phedre and Joscelin I am a huge sucker for Imriel and Sidonie. The secret affair is hot and the reunion so beautifully bittersweet. I also love the themes of understanding and forgiveness.
I love all of her books, but if I had to pick one it would probably be Kushiel's Mercy.
ReplyDeletealuminumcandy@gmail.com
Its hard to pick just one, they all go hand in hand and are hard to put down!! But I'd say Kushiel's Dart is my fav...my bestie got me hooked on her and have to say that the beginning of the story is always my fav.

ReplyDeleteI think Kushiel's Dart is probably my favourite of that series so far, out of what I've read. But I also loved Santa Olivia - possibly even more, though it's hard to compare because they're both so different.
markraven (at) gmail (dot) com
Kushiel's Dart; not only did this book introduce me to the wonderful mind of Carey, it also opened my mind and plucked me out of the dark when I needed it the most. This is the book that made me look inward and find confidence in myself; I have been a huge fan of Jacqueline Carey's ever since. =D I'm loving the new thought process of Santa Olivia as well, and of course want the sequel! <3
ReplyDeleteflayme3697@yahoo.com
I have to say my favorite Jacquiline Carey work is the one that first caused me to fall in love with her work. Kushiel's Dart was such a richky envisioned world that I not only read it voraciously, but also recommended it to my daughter and friends - many of whom have now followed with me as we read all three trilogies.
ReplyDeleteEric.Huggins1@gmail.com
Kushiel's Avatar has always been my favorite. Not only did it introduce Imriel for the next trilogy, but it added a new dimension to Joscelin and Phedre's relationship. Plus, at least to me, it seemed to have the most buildup for the end--which was epic!
ReplyDeleteremmygodd[at]gmail[dot]com
Wow, that series is my all time favorite and now I have to choose just one? I'd say its a tie between Avatar and Justice, but I'll choose Justice. That book moved me so much, and its the only book that actually made me cry. My heart broke for Imriel so many times!

Although Dart changed my entire perspective on life, I find Avatar to be my favourite, by just a bit, due to the emotional complexity it explores. I loved how the plot expanded in such an exquisite way and how thought provoking Phedre's journey was.
