The Hidden World by Paul Park

"The Hidden World" by Paul Park is a science fiction book. It follows an army general, a fragile princess, and a lascivious hermaphrodite. In an epic war between Germans and Turks, the characters are in the middle of many battlefields. They must try to survive attacks from soldiers, as well as spies. In the end, the characters are victorious, enjoying their splendor.

It is a shame that Park had to ruin his book with explicit material. He writes well, but he just can't stray from the blue material. As the fourth book in a series, the plot is a bit hard to follow. Also, the ridiculously spelled names of minor characters don't help the reader keep track of everybody. The gore is not too comforting, either.

Inappropriate objectification of women and harsh language
