A short list of things I liked about this book:
- Always amuses me that Shannon not only made Fantasy Catholicism but also made it canonically false.
- Addition of nonbinary rep - including nonbinary titles! I love the terms Mastress and Lade.
- Addition of other trans rep - there are at least two trans men & just like the gay relationships, no one bats an eye at them.
- Thrit, I am emotionally invested in this secondary character, he is the best.
- Gay-on-gay-on-gay violence at one of the climaxes
Spoiler
where all the narrators run into each other.
