graceful tempting fallen angel

Preordered A Confusion of Princes (by Garth Nix) because I am mostly easy for Garth Nix. Also sci-fi. Dramatic sci-fi:

These are the three deaths of Prince Khemri. Told in his own words, we follow him as he trains to become a Prince of the Empire, an enhanced human being, equipped with biological and technological improvements that make him faster, stronger and smarter than any ordinary person. Not to mention the ultimate benefit: should he die, and be deemed worthy, he will be reborn…

Which is just as well, because no sooner has Prince Khemri graduated to full Princehood than he learns the terrible truth behind the Empire: there are ten million princes, and all of them want each other dead, because there can only be one Emperor…

OH THE DRAMA.

Also vanilla ice cream + thin mints + sprinkles = something great:

Tasty.
