Hi.
Could you correct my English?

"A Book: Kushiel’s Dart"

This is a fantasy story written by Jacqueline Carey, which is first published in the U.S. in 2001, so many of you may have read this already. In Japan, this is just published in Japanese.
When I started reading, I thought I had bought a wrong book mistakenly, because the heroine is a courtesan, but then it turned out that this story seemed to be about conspiracies in an aristocratic society. I can’t say with a certainty, because the first volume was divided in three parts, and I just read the first one third. Even so, the story is interesting.
I want to read the next soon, but I don’t know when they publish the second one third or the third. I seem to need to read it in English, but there are too many coined terms and technical terms of a kind of physical pleasures.
Anyway, what amazing of this story is elimination of the Christian kind of moral. Japanese people originally don’t have the moral, so you who grew up in a Christian community would feel the story is specific or unique more than I do.

Thank you.
