[[MORE]]Description In the future, there are thousands of princes all vying to become the next Emperor - the ruler of all princes.

Published at The BiblioSanctum:Khemri is a prince in line for the role of emperor. What he doesn’t realize when he comes out of his stasis is that he’s one of millions of princes, male and female, and there’s a good chance that any or all of them will try to assassinate him or at least make his life...

Not my cup of tea. Read more like a biography than a scifi action book.

Meh. Least favorite Nix book with the exception of "Ragwitch" so far. It was ok. But I'm accustomed to much more than ok from Nix. Ah well. Can't love 'em all.

Super fun read, with all the creepy elements that I love about Nix's writing. I dont' know if it was intended but I sort of read this book as a companion to Shade's Children, as there were very similar themes going on in both novels (though I will admit, it's been a while since I've read Shade's Ch...

Wow. This one was unique.Nowhere near as powerful as some of Nix's earlier works (The Abhorsen Trilogy, Shade's Children), but Nix has always been the epitome of the epic world builder for me. He creates an amazing, unique world, and manages to fit some incredibly unique characters within it who hav...

I thought the world was really interesting. I thought that the Prince's court with the Master of Assassins and all of priests was really neat, and though Khem was incredibly naive (and protagonists that miss the obvious usually annoy me) I still found myself rooting for him and enjoying his eventual...

Ultimately, Prince Khemri has a choice. Or at least he hopes he does. After years of development and training, becoming a prince of the vast galaxy-spanning Empire had sounded great. Khenri’s mind and body have been enhanced to almost superhero status with advanced mechanical, biological and cogniti...

I enjoyed this freestanding novel, a coming-of-age story with nods to other juvenile science fiction and not a little of the end of Robert Charles Wilson's Darwinia. However, Nix is somewhat out of his element in science fiction, and his lack of facility sometimes shows. Though this story isn't pica...

This kept switching genres on me. The main character begins life as an incredibly privileged prince who is trained in war and espionage by his innumerable servants and androids. He battles the other princes (both male and female) to survive, knowing that only one of them will one day be chosen by t...
