Review: This could have been much better

I enjoyed the story-telling and the premise (although I couldn't help keep thinking of the Avatar).  My problem with this book and it's one you see so often in M/M fiction is that one of the MC's, Ryker, is rather effeminate.  He is small and weak (Seral often picks him up and carries him around!), he is prone to crying and, somewhat surprisingly, is extremely bashful of being seen naked (and this in a society where nudity is the norm).  Seral's over-protectiveness of Ryker also only serves to further emasculate him.  As a result I found it difficult to empathise with him.  In fact, if Ryker was re-named Raelene, little else in the story would need to change, and this was the big disappointment.
