I could only make it to page #140 of Queen of Night by Alan Savage. Dull dull dull. Too many characters to keep straight and not enough OTT sex to keep me laughing 
I'm going with Guests of the Emperor by Janice Young Brooks.

When I unpack books for the county library's annual sale, I'm always amused at how many copies of that book get sorted with the biographies.

You guys could have fun with that on the cheesy covers thread. I have bailed on the Savage book, and the gals at PBS are talking about passing it around, with each person picking up where the last left off so no one has to get through it all.

Into battle we ride with Gods by our side
We are strong and not afraid to die
We have an urge to kill and our lust for blood has to be fulfilled
WE´LL FIGHT TILL THE END! And send our enemies straight to Hell!
