I don’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 magic and sex, and frequently the sex is hot, but it doesn’t overpower the plot. You can also tell that MeiLin has a plan for where the story is going, unlike many authors who seem to "wing it." I can’t wait to find out how Temmin develops and how many of the foreshadowed events will be woven into the tapestry of the story. Yes, it takes a few chapters to get the story rolling but that’s due to its complexity and richness. You don’t understand why there is a "story-within-a-story" at first, but everything has a purpose. I encourage you to jump in, but since there is so much written, you may want to clear your calendar first!
