Watchtower by Elizabeth A. Lynn

4.0

What an immensely satisfying book! The back of my copy says that it is, "AN ADVENTURE STORY FOR HUMANISTS & FEMINISTS!" It totally is! All the battles and lost kingdoms and heirs posing as acrobats you could ask for, but with real characters. The end is wonderful, if sad--I'm so glad I finally read a fantasy novel that explicitly acknowledged the homoeroticism inherent in the magical unbreakable bond between prince and manly warrior sworn to protect him.
