The Blood of Kings by John Michael Curlovich

[maderr]

I'm going to hazard that a lot of his Egytology is hard to the whack side of the scale. He explains a bit in the end, but all the same.

That aside, the story was interesting if not wow amazing. The author seems to suffer from kill-everyone-in-sigh-itis, but as he's a horror writer I guess that's to be expected. Though on that note, this book wasn't really horrifying. Bu then again when you grow up with a mother who reads you Stephen King for bedtime stories not much is going to seem horrifying.

I like how everyone in history wass gay and had a sekkret true love. If he can slash that many people in 250 pages I'm going to stop worrying about how unrealstic my number of pairings is ^_~

I *will* give him props for a character who saw what was coming, knew on many levels it was wrong, wavered a bit and then remembered he had balls and went with it. None of this I'm good after all and you're bad even though I love you crap. Ugh that annoys me. So full props there. I wish they hadn't killed Justin; that seemed uncalled for. It would have been just as solid to see Peter be on the level and him and Justin make it.

Overall I liked it. Wasn't ground-breaking or anything, and first person almost always makes me twitchy, but 'twas good.

If anyone wants to borrow, let me know.
