![]() ![]() The mystery of who he is and what he wants is only lifted gradually, and we learn about him at the same pace as Rin. King Merinej, or Merin for short, is only seen trough Rin's eyes in this book, but in this case, I think it was a good choice. ![]() He might not even survive childbirth, but he faces his fate with pride and knowing that he did everything he could to preserve his dignity. ![]() His attitude is very much that of a true prince even if he believes he will never rule. I admired him for standing up for himself despite the fact that he is scared to death. Nevertheless, he insists he will not be a part of the king's harem nor a slave. Prince Rinin, or Rin for short, enters this agreement thinking he will lose everything, and that includes his life. The fact that both Prince Rinin (the one being married off) and King Merinej (the one doing the conquering) are strong characters makes for a wonderful tale of love found in unexpected places. The fantasy background provides a great setting, and for those who like stories including male pregnancy, this book will be a treat for that reason alone. Right? Well, I am relieved to say that in this rendition of the story not all ends up as badly as it starts. It seems cruel, doesn't take into consideration what the individual wants, and can only lead to unhappiness and heartbreak. The age-old, and in our thinking now somewhat outdated, custom of marrying off a prince to seal a peace treaty with a foreign nation is the starting point of this story. ![]()

If I'd waited to know who I was or what I was about before I started "being creative," I'd still be sitting around trying to figure myself out instead of making things. Your morgue file is where you keep the dead things that you'll later reanimate in your work. Newspaper reporters call this a "morgue file" - I like that name even better.
