"To the Golden Port of Rhonnda-by-the-Sea came the ships, scores at a time, all flying the many different banners of the empire".

Graham Diamond- Dungeons of Kuba (Adventures of the Empire Princess, #2)

This book was wonderful! And pure adventure. It is part of a series but it is possible to read this as a stand alone which is what I did.

It is about a fantasy world, ruled over by two women. This is an adventure between these women for the throne, one good (Stacy who rules the Empire ) one evil (Sigried who rules Kuba.) I loved this swashbuckling tale and read with an enthusiasm that even surprised me.

Occasionally there comes along a book that may not be along the lines of what you normally read but for whatever reason you are drawn to it and read it, finding it every bit as good as you had hoped.

Although I love Historical Fiction and love some adventure, the fantasy royalty genre is not one I read alot of and when I do, I often do not find those books very good. But there is always the exception.

Dungeons of Kuba is one of those books. It was my first book by this writer and oh how I loved this book.

I think part of why I loved it so much is because I love books with vivid imagery and books that have that Historical element and can bring the atmosphere to life. I also love books about Royals. So upon thinking about it I can see why this would be my type of book.

Stacy and Sigried are both magnificently drawn characters. I was drawn into their world so easily. There is alot of meat to this story as Sigried, consumed with jealousy for the Golden majestic Stacy, will do anything to deprive her of power.

I have since, looked through the other books in this series and did not see any involving BOTH these women again but if I have missed something and there is one, feel free to email me.

This was just a wonderful adventure. Highly recommended ( )
