As a bookseller and avid reader I have read thousands of books. Few have touched me as Sebastian and it's second book have. Sebastian's world is different from ours. In this world much of the world is shattered into landscapes, and each is taken care of by a Landscaper and a Bridge that connects the landscapes to each other. This is a beautiful world... and then someone frees the evil that was locked up for centuries. Now Sebastian is pulled into the war that began ages ago and only two people can save him: Belladonna, his rogue landscaper cousin and the most powerful of all of them, and the girl that is his newly found love. Filled with beauty, romance, wonder, mystery, magic, and a bit of humor, Sebastian is one that has kept it's hold on me long after I finished reading it.

This one intrigues me the most...
ReplyDeleteI've been trying to figure out how to describe this part... It has erotic topics without the content? There aren't sex scenes or lots of erotic description, but Sebastian is half incubus and lives in a landscape among similar beings where they "entertain guests" and other similar ideas. I figured I should at least make you aware of that. I don't know if that draws you away from it, but it is a lovely story and helped me to understand the dichotomy in my own heart a lot better. Sebastian has a lot of admirable qualities though and struggles within himself with his incubus nature and being an honorable person as his aunt taught him. It is hard to get the full picture, though, if you don't read the sequel. The second book is all about Belladonna and her struggle both within herself and with fighting the evil taking over the landscapes.
