A great story, balanced and without dead time

An obese princess, a king who has already built his life and wants to marry this girl does that for political reasons, threats of war between kingdoms, cowardly characters that are not necessarily those that are expected .. .
I thought I knew where the story was going, but I was surprised. A little humor here and there, especially when Lucero-Elisa through a desert in his difficult physical condition, a king who lacks stature, weight and to have been chosen to carry a stone in his navel without knowing what means "to be chosen" and these are the ingredients of a good read, with action and cocktail dissolves the characters.

Note Whether it is a trilogy but this first volume can be read alone, a satisfactory end looping the "first arc."
