Karma has it in for
Moswen. Trouble follows him around like a demented, faithful dog. Moswen
never means for things to happen the way they do. It just does. And
while things may seem bad at first, everything eventually works out for
the best even if the road to getting there is a less than a smooth ride.
While
fleeing his sister's wrath for an accident that was almost not his
fault, Moswen stumbles upon the chance to crash what promises to be a
fun party.
Kijika is hopeful that the birthday bash for his
grandfather, the current king, won't be the deadly boring event he's
sure it will be and he'd much rather be pouring over ancient texts in
his quest for knowledge. Moswen's karma swings into action and Moswen
and Kijika cross paths at the party setting in motion a relationship
that will give both men what they most desire.
I can't help but praise this book. It was definitely a long one and I was completely immersed in it the entire time.
Kijika is half Vylfian and half Naemo. Not only a prince, but also a necromancer. Moswen is from the planet Awh’an. He is a Shal-hazal spirit, an ambassador and a dream walker and thus can physically move from one place to another.
This story is purely about Kijika and Moswen and how Moswen's unpredictable karma seems to pull everyone around him in. This story is fun, light hearted, humorous, and there's drama to keep you entertained. The world building is beautifully done. The author intertwined the three unique species,
culture, and magic wonderfully.
I do have to say that Moswen's ability to dream walk was never really explained, as well as the other Awh'anise abilities. I didn't understand how he was able to dream walk to Kijika's world. It was all ambiguous.
There are also other side stories and other Awh'anise pairings that can be checked out on id_locke's livejournal. These stories do have to be read online, but it was definitely worth the read. Highly recommended.
