Discovered Dru Pagliassotti's review of The Courtesan Prince on the Edge home page.
It starts with...
The Courtesan Prince is at heart an old-fashioned space opera -- its focus is on the clash of two societies, one rational and scientific, the other traditional and warlike, and both filled with a curious mixture of respect and distrust for the other. |
And ends up with ...
Readers who enjoy hard and gritty science fiction won't find much of it here; this is a novel about people and cultures, honor and duty, and love and hatred. Featuring gunfights and swordfighting, rodeo-quality spaceship manuevers and murderous nobles, The Courtesan Prince is an enjoyable stand-alone read and a promising start to what is to be a 10-volume saga. |
All of which I can live with and keep smiling. :-)
Dru Pagliassotti writes well, too.
