I was surprised, this  novel  turned out to be an interesting read.  I learned  about Chinese heirachy/ and  segregation of  the  harems [ gilded cage? ]. The fact that the  concubine  turns up to be  male is  unique and intriguing. I loved the  swordfighting, and the  silky dressings.THe intrigue and treachery inside the  harem was  tense albeit predictable.  The  sex was hot, but the  romance behind it  seemed  a bit  lacking imo. I did totally enjoy the  novel tho, it was a  fast  read, entertaining and flowing  well. I  do however  hope this is  not the  "last" of this  author's writing. great stuff!
