Review-
I liked it. it is about a post-apostolic world, down in South America, where a city state is ruled by a queen, selected by a man, who is slaughter. this man gets to live in luxury and freedom for the time he is the summer prince. June, an artist, meets Enki, who is the summer king, and together they create art and fall in love. in this book, women and men can take both genders as lovers and this makes the beginning very interesting. I still haven't figured out if Enki's first lover, June's best friend, is a boy or girl(i think boy most likey). its good and i liked it. june is a fun and strong charcter.
