book rec?

Okay, so I just finished reading the first Kushiel's Legacy trilogy, by Jacqueline Carey, and I am in raptures of love and adoration. Now, I know she's written a second trilogy in that universe -- I think the last book is just coming out this month, actually -- and, y'know, my inclination is to go out and continue merrily along. Which I probably will anyway. But I was wondering: have any of you read it? Does it continue in awesomeness? Because while Imriel is cool and all, I love Phedre and Joscelin and Hyacinthe times a billion, and...I don't know. I guess I just want to make sure it stays good before I go out and buy the rest.
