Customer Reviews

Hooray for gay main characters

This is very much part of the series. Unlike the prior books, the romance foxuses on two men. Still appropriate for an older teenage audience. Glad to see queer representation in such prominent roles. Well written like everything from Chima. Only one star docked because I'm not thrilled with where this author is takong this series.
