N.’s Reviews > The Aristocrat and Desert Prince > Status Update

Well, this one off trip into stuff I've bought a long while ago was fun. Let's read the post script and finish this one off.

Thank you for your hard work, Haruhi Tono, and Karen McGillicuddy for translating this novel. And for giving me a trip with an author from across the ocean.

I'll think about why I keep buying odd books on impulse and work on curbing my backlog. Cheers everyone.

Poor Takeyuki. I still don't like you but now I feel bad for you.

Awkward. Our first hero confessed that he wants to stay with our second hero, the desert Hawk.

Aren't you not supposed to bath in a single source of water such as an oasis? I know that you are supposed to shower before you get into a hot spring.

I don't know the answer to this as most of my knowledge about irrigation came from building tunnels in the dirt driveway with my brother.

I must be feeling better. I've put 900 books onto my local library account wish list.

i'll never keep it updated. but hopefully i shall find a nice piece of YA to read.

I should look at my book recommendations later.

Awkward tension ensues. Mostly Our First Hero takes time to soften up since Our Second Hero rescued his butt.

Let's hope the lead up to the climax isn't too unsatisfying.

Oh no. Ghosts are after our First Hero. Get him ghosts!

Stupidity knows no bounds. As our Christian of a sort hero decides that it's fine to wear his cross in the open.

I'm sure this is the part where he gets kidnapped.

I'm going to make a grammar change. And note that if I'm reading a same gender or queer couple, I'll call the viewpoint lead our hero/heroine and the love interest our second hero/heroine.

Having said that to accommodate my status habits with my knowledge of queer history...

Our hero is still a weirdo.

"Driven to such distraction by a man he had never seen before, Takeyuki grew even more resentful of the stranger. He may have had no ulterior motive toward Takeyuki and had simply run into him by chance, but even if Takeyuki accepted that intellectually, he just couldn’t accept it on a gut level."

Our Hero, The judgemental Racist.
