Lydia wakes on a strange world the apparent pet to a spoilt and petulant Prince on the cusp of maturing. This was actually fascinating and oh so strange and I don't think I've read anything quite like this before. Its also about acceptance and being true to yourself even if that means going against the grain. It's about teaching someone care and compassion for someone apparently inferior and at the same time accepting things that are beyond our control. So this is not some erotic pet play type sci-fi, it's actually more of a coming of age story, a journey of self-discovery that could play-out against any backdrop not just here, it just happens to be set on an alien world.
This one is a very ethereal and unique read it's really a hard one to explain adequately and put into words being so unusual. Lydia has awoken in his world to find that she has been given to himĪs a pet, a plaything, and, if he so desires, a LOVER. He is humanoid but not human-fascinating, sensual, at the cusp of maturity, and accustomed to getting what he wants. One of those rare cups of tea on rainy days that taste just right. If you liked Radiance and The Last Hour of Gann then you'll probably like this. However, Lydia is a captured heroine, regarded as an animal for the hero to care for because that might inspire maternal feelings in the hero, but the longer they spend with each other sexual feelings develop instead, he wants to be male and that causes big problems. A sex/gender can be chosen at will with this race, and with there being already a firstborn male, it's expected this second child will choose to develop as female. In this alien - elf world, the second child must choose to become female. He's an alien - elf, and the King's second child. I hate the usual big horny aliens with bad dialogue.
I loved the way the characters were framed. !!! Right from the blurb till the last line.
