		<description><![CDATA[I give the new version of AIHotGK my stamp of approval! While I can&#8217;t remember the original well enough to evaluate how much the new narrative diverges, I&#8217;m definitely finding it a tighter, more focused read this time around. The multidimensional characters and lush setting come alive, make me smile, hold my sympathy and catch [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[[Note: This review reflects only the first book in the series, which has undergone extensive editing and is currently being re-posted on site.] Lovers and Beloveds (the first book in An Intimate History of the Greater Kingdom) is an erotic historical fantasy which follows the beginnings of Prince Temmin’s transition from naïve, spoilt Heir to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I started reading An Intimate History of the Greater Kingdom out of curiosity and not expecting much, but I found myself pleasantly surprised for a time. Like Tales of MU, I appreciate how Mei Lin openly discusses non-mainstream sexualities in the story, though I have misgivings about how they are portrayed. As far as I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Anyone who is not up to date with this story is missing out on a sensual, light-hearted trip that foreshadows great excitement and upheaval in the kingdom’s future and in Temmin’s eventual ascendancy as King.&#160; Also Temmin has finally lost his virginity, and what a way to do so!&#160; It was an exceptionally beautiful chapter.

		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t read a lot of fantasy because I find most of it painful. The genre is full of unbelievable characters, stilted dialogue and hackneyed plots. Erotica is even worse. That said, Meilin actually makes me care about these characters. I feel like I could meet them some day in an alternate universe. There is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[MeiLin Miranda is a good writer, and extremely creative.&#160; Not only does she have a lively imagination, she also comes up with impressive ways to involve her audience, and designed a great website.&#160; Individual chapters of her ongoing story can be humorous, erotic, thrilling and intriguing.&#160; Her description of clothing and scenery is elegant and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[To start, this is an absolutely beautifully written serial novel; if not for its adult content, I have little doubt that it would be sweeping the greater world by storm with its fascinating story, eloquent prose, and masterful development of character. It&#8217;s hard to summarize what makes a story that grabs you &#34;good.&#34;&#160; When so [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is a truly epic tale told in the most intimate way, through the eyes of the people, great and small, who live in the world of the Tremont Empire and beyond. Imagine being a royal prince and having the chance to not just read, but to experience the TRUE story of your family&#8217;s history.&#160; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Alas, in our mundane world, we have to rely on static printed texts with one, presumably and occasionally demonstrably biased, viewpoint. To be able to know with certainty the thoughts, feelings, motivations and surrounding minutae of the pivotal moments in history might truly allow us to not repeat the mistakes of the past. Temmin, Sedra [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My serial-reading experience online is fairly limited.&#160; I&#8217;ll confess that.&#160; However, I find An Intimate History of the Greater Kingdom to be engaging, delightfully articulate, and not nearly as &#34;mixed up&#34; or &#34;scattered&#34; as another reviewer did. Temmin, the overarching protagonist, is an adolescent crown prince on the cusp of manhood (in more ways than [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Although this story is Mei&#8217;s first fiction piece, her 30+ years of professional writing (and web design!) shine through in this lovely story.&#160; I discovered it at the beginning, but as other have noted, the first few chapters take awhile to engage you.&#160; I re-discovered it around ch. 17 of book 2 and became a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[MeiLin Miranda manages to combine history, fantasy, and sex in a very original and addictive coming of age story. Rather than the sex taking away from the plot and rendering the story second rate, as it so often does in other stories, it instead adds another dimension to the writing. We&#8217;ve all read histories that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been following this story nearly from the beginning and it&#8217;s only gotten better the more Mei has written.&#160; Considering this is her self-professed &#34;first attempt at fiction,&#34; I&#8217;m going to have to give her a standing ovation.&#160; She certainly puts other, more seasoned, writers to shame in this regard. Temmin, the story&#8217;s main character, [...]]]></description>
