PALACES AND OTHER PRISONS is part of the Tinsel and Tentacles 3:0 series, and features Ul, king of the Krakke, and Dawson, an oil rig worker. Their worlds collide when the island of Felloi is magically transported to the mundane world, landing beneath the oil platform. Similar occurrences happen all over the world, but not everyone is as lucky. Dawson volunteers to meet with the 'monsters' as those on the platform ration food and water.

This is a low steam, slow-burning story with some big differences right from the start, language being the main one. I liked the explanation of how the Felloi learn languages, and how it was portrayed in the story. The other differences, such as clothing and customs, were also well written.

Personally, I would have preferred a little more time spent with Dawson and Ul, especially when they were sneaking off together, and after. Apart from moments, it didn't seem as though they actually spent that much time together.

There were also little things, like how Dawson was poisoned. We know where, and we know what with, but how, especially when he never felt it happen, just the aftereffects. That, and with Ul's cousin, felt like an afterthought.

Overall, this was a cute read with some nice characters.
