9:57 am - Looking for a quote

I believe it was in either Kushiel's Scion or Kushiel's Justice where there's a quote about Phèdre being in the summer of her beauty. Does anyone know the exact quote?

I've been away from iconing a while...The thing that inspired me again was the cover of Naamah's Kiss, Jacqueline Carey's new book. I haven't read it yet (didn't have time to pick it up with important tests going on), but I love het cover and the first chapter. So here are some icons of Naamah's Kiss. They're pretty simple, but I like them. Hope you enjoy them too.
For those who don't know Jacqueline Carey, she's the author of the amazing Kushiel series. I can reccomend them to everyone!

Actress Felicia Day (of Dr. Horrible fame) posted to her Twitter about buying Naamah's Kiss. I thought I'd share since it's always cool to see who other fans are.
Please, no spoilers for Naamah's Kiss in the comments, it's not out yet anywhere around me so I haven't read it.
P.S. And I just found this video of Felicia meeting Jacqueline Carey at last year's Comic-Con:

I ordered Kushiel's Mercy through amazon since its in paperback now. I need to wait to re-read it 'til Monday (when my Mum's having surgery) so I can escape to Terre d'Ange and beyond in the waiting area.
But seeing it on my table and having to wait to re-read is so difficult! Alas. :p

7:11 pm - Eisheth's Candle
|
theartofflight
|
I'm new here so I don't know if this question has been posed before but it was something I wondered when I was reading the books: when a woman lights a candle to Eisheth, does that mean she can now ger pregnant from anyone or just one person?
In chapter 22 of Kushiel's Scion, when talking about Katherine and Gilot it says "She had lit a candle to Eisheth in his name" The in his name makes it sound like it's just relating specially to Gilot but I'm not really sure...
It's just something I'm curious about. Any thoughts?

Hey guys, I just finished reading Santa Olivia and seriously want some discussion about it! Since I know this comm is devoted to the Kushiel books, I created a discussion post over at my personal journal for anyone who wants to discuss to post in. It's open to anyone who's read the book and wants to discuss!
I figure we're all Carey fans, right?

10:54 am - Hyacinthe and the Dromonde
|
|
sandit

I've been a busy bee with a rereading of Dart and I came to a bit of a theory about the dromonde and Hyacinthe's mother. It seems reasonable to me that in her reasons for teaching him the dromonde at all, knowing as she did that it was proscribed for use by men, that she blundered in creating the very fate she sought to avoid. Her mother challenged Phedre to guess what Anastazia might have seen for her son ... is it possible she saw his fate as inheiriting the position of Master of the Seas and taught him to use the dromonde so that he might avoid it, but unknowingly caused him to rush onto the pathway that led him to that same fate, since his use of it in the Tsingano camp was what assured he would be on the journey to Alba? I'm not sure if I explained my thought train clearly, but the possibility struck me as a very clever and classical bit of plotting on Carey's part (very like Oedipus' natural parents). What do you think?
