Kushiel's Dart is a fantasy novel by American writer Jacqueline Carey, the first book in her Kushiel's Legacy series. The idea for the book first came to Carey when she was reading the Biblical Book of Genesis, specifically a passage about "Sons of God" coming into the "Daughters of Men". Later, when she was writing a coffee table book, she encountered Jewish folklore, which paralleled the story in greater detail. The fictional nation of Terre D'Ange in the story was founded by a rebel angel.
Enjoyed a great deal. Awesome debut and start to a series.
Shame about the typography errors. I kept trying to figure out if they were from text-to-speech errors or hand-writing recognition... Either way, they should have been ironed out in editing. Interesting (to me as an author) that going with a publisher doesn't guarantee this.
