Eddis, Attolia, Sounis

Thank you for such a lovely comment! The Lost Prince is dated in some (many ways), but it's a straight-shot ancestor of that other Sounis favorite, Rosemary Sutcliff's Eagle of the Ninth, and falls (at least for me) into the same complex of stories about loyalty-friendship-feudalism as the Attolia books, the Vorkosigan and Chalion books, etc. If this post of mine can get more people to read it, I'll count that a win!
