Stained Glass Heart and Skyfall

[samvara]

• Stained Glass Heart by Catherine Asaro. Short story. Farmboy with a passion for dancing who is actually an interstellar prince runs into trouble when a marriage is arranged to a hot, but older General who does not love him. Fun, silly, I find I have less sympathy for men when the gender roles are reversed, I'll work on that.
• Skyfall by Catherine Asaro. Chronologically this is book one of the Skolian saga and ninth written so it seemed liked a good entry point. I came in expecting science fiction or maybe space opera and wasn’t quite prepared for cracktastic romance. I am gonna swipe part of a review I read because it’s so perfect Roca, psion queen and ballerina(!) with the body of a porn star is swept away by hunky barbarian on horseback. Please note this is a genetically modified purple horse with prismatic horns.
