If you're gay, you might absolutely love this... I'm not and I just put it down.The first book does a decent job of exploring some of the gay/bi people's character, and the interactions with the main character who isn't...and setting a decent tone for a gay-straight friendly fantasy reading experience. The 2nd book sort of destroys all that, by changing the rules for how it framed the narrative in the first book. Character's sexuality changes (in my mind) for flimsy reasoning and just forcing a gay relationship...because? I don't know, it got a bit graphic, (compared to how the early scenes were set for the straight relationships) for my sensibilities and I just put it down.I'm not much for that sort of heavy handed narrative and much less for the book to turn into an erotic novel.If that's your sort of book you'll probably have a decent time at it, and probably be able to forgive the sloppy turn in the narrative.
