18 - Stalking Darkness by Lynn Flewelling 5/5
19 - Kushiel's Mercy by Jacqueline Carey 4/5
The last book of the Imriel trilogy in the Kushiel's Legacy series. I love her writing style, and the plot here was definitely a big improvement on books four and five, but I just don't care as much about Imriel as a character as I did about Phedre, and I never will. Phedre's trilogy will always be perfect to me, and I will read it again and again. There are certainly parts of Imriel's trilogy that I'll read again, but I just don't see myself reading the whole thing. However, I'm still totally devoted to the series and will absolutely be buying the next book when it comes out.
