From the Back Cover
EROTIC, EXOTIC – THE ULTIMATE FANTASY
In a land where women cannot rule, Lady Javere has been named sole heir and son to the Third Province of Monserria. This unprecedented act causes uproar, but her dying father's wishes cannot be ignored. They can, however, be tested to the hilt.
First Javere must complete the task assigned her by Lord Yassai, the shrewd and treacherous First Lord of
Monserria. The quest, a fool's errand, is to bring back a dragon's egg from beyond the far mountains. As if that weren't hard enough, she must also remain a virgin, against all temptation and a number of very interesting personal gifts.
Teasing and thrilling, formal yet perverse, 'Ladylord' takes epic fantasy into new and sensuous realms.
'Miller creates a socially complex world that's as vital as it is mannered, and fills it with captivating characters who are familiar with depravity as well as with grandeur'

The concept of a Japan-like culture was an interesting idea to work from, but the whole book was rather tame.
I persevered for the first couple of hundred pages, without exactly being gripped by any of the events. The descriptions seemed to be sparse, as if the author was too embarrased to describe some of the scenes, and not comfortable with any of the battle scenes. The last few chapters were slightly more interesting, perhaps because I was glad that I had nearly reached the end.
All in all it seemed like a children's author trying to get a bit more risque, but failing.

I thought this was an excellent fantasy novel and have been looking for other books by this author. If you want a fantasy novel with a fresh perspective, this is the one.

A Decent Read

Format:Hardcover
All in all not a bad book. I'd love to see more books by this author, but to date have been unable to find any. Similar to "Daughter of Empire" by Raymond Feist & Jany Wurts.

i first read this book in high school, and later on i kept thinking back to it, but it is no longer in print and i could not find it in bookstores. when i saw it on amazon, i was excited and ordered it. its a wonderful fantasy book, except i feel a little disappointed in the ending, but i do love the story before it leads into the end. it might just be a personal problem, i tend to not really like when authors wrap up everything so neatly.
