I'm a co-blogger at All Things Urban Fantasy, while Read Fragment is where other genres wash ashore.
Anyone who wants to know how the whole Khal Drogo romance would go in Fantasyland, this is the book for you. It's chock full of hot button issues (rape and slavery to name two), and for the most part things are resolved with the whole "if you can make it pleasant it's not really a social evil" panacea. Interesting, definitely follows the premise out to its boundaries, but not particularly challenging.
