Temple of a Thousand Faces di John Shors
A well-research, beautifully-written novelization of the Cham invasion of the Khmer during the 12th century. Brings the people and temples surrounding Angkor Wat, The Bayon, etc. to vivid life. Loved it thoroughly.
I wanted to love this book so much more than I did. I did like it but I didn't love it. There were some problems for me with character and plot development. I felt some of the characters just existed and were not developed. One bad brother one good brother, but no development of why one was bad or one was good. Bad brother is afraid of snakes we find out late in the book. Why? No one knows. Maybe because he saw a snake when he was young but who knows. People are loyal for seeminly little reason and people betray for just as little of a reason. It was a good read I just wanted to know the characters better and not find fault with some story points.

Brilliant love story. Not just of a woman to her beloved, but also to her father, mother, brothers, friend, people of her family's empire.
