It's a long one indeed!

Finally read it. Loved it. Happy to see something a bit longer. And it would seem that only the Coover=Chaos adequately represents the condition of ole Usofa these days.

Well, dang. Wish I had read The Enchanted Prince back in April 2018, using the link - instead of my having purchased the ebook at Amazon yesterday. Ah, well.... reading it now. Liking it.

ETA: Hmmm, is there an Easter Egg in this one for all the Cooverites? I'm thinking there's a reference to Briar Rose: "Once, trying to reach a sleeping maiden to awaken her from a spell cast by an evil fairy, he was caught in a briar hedge; the thorns seeming to feed on his flesh as the hedge grew around him...." Etc. Or, I could be wrong. :D

I think you’re right!
