Product Description

Far to the north of the hot desert land of Telfar lies the frozen kingdom of Sorvinka. Prince Amir has traveled there, leaving his sultanate in the hands of his half-brother Erik as he seeks to ask the king, the father of the beautiful Princess Eva, for her hand in marriage. But Sorvinka has grown dangerous during Princess Eva's absence, as she and Amir discover to their terror, when their force of guards and eunuchs is cut down by ruthless brigands. And upon their arrival, their welcome to Eva's family stronghold is as bitterly cold as the land itself. Accustomed to the golden cage of his upbringing, Prince Amir must navigate his way through the strange and cold-blooded customs of the Sorvinkans, and somehow find the truth behind the kidnapping of the king's youngest daughter, the Princess Aurora, by the Sorvinkan's traditional enemies, the neighboring Farrellians. But what can a stranger in a foreign land do?

3.0 out of 5 stars Not Free SF Reader, October 11, 2009

By	Blue Tyson "- http://freesf.blogspot.com" - See all my reviews

Not really my sort of book, but part of a bundle from a high quality publisher.

The adventures of Amir from the previous volume continue.

This book is a bit slower, but I think the writing is actually a little improved, which makes it easier to take.

Also, Baba Yaga, who usually can make a story more interesting.

A rather broader scope for this than previously, but still has some skullduggery among the nobility. Done in a very light tone, though, as you may expect from the title.

If you like the whole fantasy princesses thing you will likely rate this a little higher than me.

1.0 out of 5 stars did the same person write the previous book in this series?, September 12, 2009

By	Book Junkie (Los Angeles) - See all my reviews

Simply dreadful. Amateurishly written with actual grammatical mistakes. Slow, dull plot. Did she actually write the previous PRINCES book which was charming and well-told? I won't buy any of her future books. A real disappointment.

It took over half the book to settle down and start following a plot. The first book was MUCH better at pacing. The main character spent most of his time flailing around with no purpose or direction. There IS such a thing as too much mystery.
