Re-read on 1/30/16- Yup..... still just as great the second time around. 
 There's not much I can say about this book that hasn't already been said, so I'll just scream.... I LOVED ITTTTTTT!! Lahn, oh Lahn, he had some serioussss blunders in this story, but I always ended up loving him again, just like Circe. Although she too had her moments, I loved how Circe made the most of the situation, adjusted to her new world, and surpassed the expectations of her queenly duties to truly get to know her 'people'. I cried, smiled, and definitely got horny reading this great story. I found myself a new favorite author. Can't wait to read the rest of this series.
