There were many parts that sort of flew by that could have been expanded on and Sarkis’ past didn’t really get enough detail to disturb me at first so I would have loved if that had been expanded. Still, this was an amazing book and was very amusing and fun! I love the characters, especially Zale and Halla. I wish Brindle could’ve gotten more time to shine but ultimately I think it just would’ve slowed things down. 

There’s a minor character who seems to be ace and it’s not treated well but not for discrimination reasons, just for horny reasons. Still, as an ace person, it put a damper on the book but it was a very minor part and there was some great nonbinary representation.
