If someone was going to hate Imriel for his switch aroo trick then they would hate him anyway. <br /><br />I think complete healing from Darsanga will take much longer... and many more pleasurable nights - for both Kaneka and Phedre - and I wish them the best there is to offer! ;)<br /><br />Great comment about Phedre as an anguisette and how Darsanga may affect any future assignations (if there are any).<br /><br />I love how Carey incorporates these alternate or ancient names for places, (like Nahar for Nile). nrlymrtlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00572346310916207565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6074055834975214817.post-3411888816802925272015-11-17T16:00:18.733-05:002015-11-17T16:00:18.733-05:00Thanks!

I always saw the Kushiel's temple purging as more of a sacred/spiritual thing for purification, sort of like fasting.Alliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03683230093775720398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6074055834975214817.post-60492707116627537672015-11-16T04:39:48.979-05:002015-11-16T04:39:48.979-05:00Something you wrote reminded me: it's a cliche...Something you wrote reminded me: it's a cliche in some BDSM erotica that a wounded woman needs to be "fixed" through BDSM. I'm so glad Carey didn't go there. I don't think purging at Kusiel's temple even compares to this cliche.<br /><br />I completely agree with your assessment of Imriel and his ruse and people's opinion of it. I like how you put it.emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12945793193044137020noreply@blogger.com
