"womanizing prince"?...so I just went and looked up "womanizing" and realized there is one definition with two ways it can be taken...because otherwise I was going to ask if this was the character I thought it was.

Hmm, maybe I should press together my free time and write a squee for this book too. It's almost impossible to avoid spoilers, though, so it wouldn't be a really good review...

Just wondering, why do you prefer explanations in series books? I tend not to mind them, and think maybe they're helpful for longer books/series, but overall would prefer basic information not to be repeated, since we should know it already. (Although this could be a strong rebound against the times I've read a series and the explanations have been way too long.)
