The Good: Intricate, exciting, plausible world-building. The interweaving of 3 fascinating societies. Excellent stage-dressing.
The Bad: Flat, one-dimensional characters who stubbornly refuse to grow and learn. Blink-and-you-miss-it "romance" between two main characters who need to be permanently separated for their own good. An overabundance of gay characters in unlikely circumstances. Neads moar pruf-reeding.

Hmm...
This book is definitely not a romance. Of course, it has romance in it, but it's more of a fantasy with gay main characters than fantasy romance. Of course, it doesn't make it any less good.

A twisty, intricate tale of politics, espionage, treachery and magic, with a dash of romance and a pinch of sexual tension. Layered and rich and really just yummy.
