I love this book. As you might guess when I tell you that I read the first three chapters without stopping, fragrance or no fragrance. Check out this first sentence:
An e-mail from the local astronomy listserv said it's snowing right now in Cottage Grove, about 20 miles south of us. Nothing like that here - I peeked outside and saw the full moon, Orion, and Gemini perfectly clearly, no clouds at all. I suppose it's cold enough, though.
"Prince Raoden of Arelon awoke early that morning, completely unaware that he had been damned for all eternity."Fun! A fantasy novel that's actually creative!
