This was FUN. I liked the first one, but it was missing something for me. This one, perhaps because its central characters weren’t so quiet and unassuming, intrigued me right away and didn’t let up.

When rivalries turn into smooching.

Lesto answers to no one but the High King, and even then politeness is not guaranteed. Most men would think twice […]
