But when he&#8217;s dragged into a plot against his Second Aunt, the empress, can the bookish one keep the stabby one from whisking them away before he can save the dynasty?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cPoor sweet dragon prince. I\u2019m finding this rather exciting, but you\u2019re angry and terrified, aren\u2019t you?\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I love the Viet-influenced underwater dragon kingdom and how quickly (this is an 80 page novella!) the author managed to sketch out the various political intrigues going on in the palace along with their involved characters. Thuan&#8217;s grandmother, who thinks Asmodeus is a sweetheart, is reason enough to read this novella. It&#8217;s also worth noting that while the main couple is obviously gay, many of the side characters are also queer.\u00a0It does get dark, as court intrigues often have more far-reaching and tragic fallout than those ensconced in the palaces care about. And that&#8217;s without noting that\u00a0Asmodeus himself, as a Fallen angel, is very much into the whole pain\/torture\/domination thing. Thuan knows that his family and his kingdom aren&#8217;t perfect &#8211; he&#8217;s lived through it, after all &#8211; but having those things pointed out to him by Asmodeus is still grating.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, I&#8217;ve loved everything I&#8217;ve read by Aliette de Bodard, and this is no exception. It definitely makes me want to jump in to a reread of Dominion of the Fallen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Content warnings: Another murder mystery by Aliette de Bodard?
