Prince of Ice A Tale of the Demon World

Cor has some genetic defect which makes it hard for him to reign in his emotions - as is requested by a prince of the yamish. Xisha is an orphant and has been different from the average yamish, even from the lower rhon. Separated at the age of eight, these two grow up to be very different characters: he buries his emotions to become the prince of ice, while she continues to dream (some time at least) and finding a future in one of the respected whore-houses of the yama. And then, they meet again.. ** It is true, several steamy sex-scenes confirm Ms Hollys reputation as a phantastic erotic writer. She is quite explicit, inventive and not shy to use 'toys' on her heroes or to get a bit rough with them. But still she never looses sight of the plot and all the characters appear believable. Maybe one little critics: The Yama are a great invention but when they interact with humans, their difference and prejudice adds the final touch. This clash of culture / belief adds to the natural tension in her books, unfortunately, no humans appear in this story, only as a plot line and as hearsay.
