I loved the first half and then I got to the second half and went, "WHAT? Khemri <i>falls in love and finds himself</i>? Can we have a more trite plot?" Which is a pity, because it was so close to being amazing and if the second half had been treated in a better way it would have been.Maureen Ehttp://bysinginglight.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7364116677912521674.post-61365999644714347132013-01-09T16:52:16.440-05:002013-01-09T16:52:16.440-05:00I read Confusion of Princes a couple of months ago...I read Confusion of Princes a couple of months ago and couldn't tell you know what it's about.
