This is one of those books that transports you into a new land from the beginning and though you marvel at the surroundings you know you've read this story before. It was not a disappointing read, but I felt like the end left much to be desired. The descriptions of Aidan Loriel's world are so vivid in the beginning of the book that you really see everything Evan is seeing. Then, suddenly, the story speeds up so fast that you feel lost and a little uncertain about what the authors intended for the story's conclusion to be in the first place.

The smut is very good and deliciously written. The characterizations are very good but the plot was a little unclear.

It was very David Eddings meets JRR Tolkien meets hot, delicious mansex! I liked it, I just wish I could've loved it.
