Carey Switches Kushiel Heroes

"A very busy SF author Jacqueline Carey—whose fourth Kushiel book, Kushiel's Scion, comes out June 12—told SCI FI Wire that this book begins a new trilogy featuring the character Imriel as narrator. He takes over for Phèdre, the heroine from the first three books. "For me, to keep the writing fresh and compelling in an ongoing series, characters need to grow and develop over time, and their stories need to explore different themes," Carey said in an e-mail interview. "I love Phèdre, ... but the dramatic arc of her story was finished at the end of Kushiel's Avatar, while Imriel's was just beginning."

And thankfully, a writer that seems to know when to leave characters at rest. Not Robert Jordanthat I'm Anne Rice naming any Laurel K. Hamilton names, mind you.....
