A ploy to get more lgbtq community involvement in this genre takes up probably half this book. I’m not saying that’s a bad idea but I came here to escape the world not to see discrimination and political stance of our current world. The story is narrated well and even though book 2 is slower progression due to authors political ploy the story is still good. aT least enough for me to buy book 3. Again we buy these books to escape life not dwell on our problems we all should be accepted no matter sex race age sexual orientation. We know this some just seem to ignore it but it doesn’t need to be rammed down my mouth for half a book.
