Cheezy romance is an appropriate description. When the reader was given a
play-by-play description of the hero's teen-age daughter's *legs* in running
motion, twenty pages into the book, it set a tone that should've rather
stayed in the authors' fevered little minds.
But the politics and in-fighting described were, to me, realistic and worth
the read.

Grendels! I love them! Gimme three -- no, four! With *strong* leashes.
I also like the veldt scribes (whatever they're called). I would love to
fly over a field they've grazed in and looked at the patterns left behind.
