Oh god, this is AWFUL. Awfully good in an awful way. Yanno when a book goes beyond awful into EMBRACE THE AWFUL? Yeah, that. The dialogue is hooky; the newly met, and dramatically, suddenly, DEEPLY connected characters are a breath away from "I love yous." Pauper and prince theme, father-villain theme, it all swarms around like fire ants on a smashed watermelon of juicy prose. God, this is awful.
