"The
Priest took me hostage for 24-hours. If I wasn't reading late into the
night or stealing moments to read during the day, I was-- and still am--
thinking about this captivating tale.
Mauricio is a compassionate and intelligent young man who had been born a
slave in a society ruled by women. His life is lonely and hopeless behind
the walls of The Temple, the confines of which he hadn't been outside of
his entire life. But he is resigned. He was born into slavery and would
die in slavery-- unloved, insignificant, suppressed. Until, a Temple
guard's mistake changes everything.
This is a story of forbidden love between a slave and a "pure
breed" woman, who transcend prejudice and hatred to find a soul mate.
It is brilliantly written, vivid, and elicits strong emotion. I was
completely sucked into Mauricio's bleak existence, rooting for him,
worried for him, wishing hell fire on his oppressors, drinking in his few
moments of happiness, and concocting alternative storylines, all the while
hanging onto the hope of a happy ending-- which I won't tell you if he had
or not.
The other aspect I appreciate about this story is its innocence and the
author's tact. The Priest is a true romance, and one I won't soon forget.
Goes without saying, I look forward to reading Book 2 in The Ginecean
Chronicles, Pax in the Land of Women. I fully anticipate sleep
deprivation." E.L.S
