"a well written and fast paced story"
Lyra has spent her entire life fighting to not be a man's
possession. She left her family to become a Lady Prince.
A title, given to very few, that allows a woman to have the
same rights as a man. While on a quest to smuggle other
women to freedom she meets the one thing that take that
title away. Daene is known to be a murderous thief. He is on a quest of
his own, for revenge. A quest that crosses paths with the
only Lady Prince and he needs a favor. This presents a
challenge that the mysterious beast inside him didn't
expect and can't resist. The Lady Prince is a well written and fast paced story.
The characters are well developed and easy to follow. The
verbal jousting between the two main, and at times, minor
characters was entertaining. Interaction between two
world weary leading roles with one seemingly naive girl,
who has secrets of her own, can be touching and funny in
places. Most of the story takes place in a world where men are
dominate and cruel, and women no better than slaves or pets
yet I found that most of the sexual content was sweet yet
passionate. Though there was some reference to cruelty and
rape. This is a well paced, sweet, and passionate story
that is well worth an afternoon of reading.
