DNF. Good premise and I like the character stereotypes here, but I could NOT stand the dialogue. The author writes her characters’ inner monologue and dialogue as aggressively PC as if to make it perfectly clear that they’re not bigoted, which leads to very stilted and awkward writing. Like, yes, I KNOW your character is not a homophobe or transphobe and that’s great! But you don’t have to hit me over the head with a frying pan every time the topic arises.

EDIT: Okay, okay, okay, I LIED. I just couldn't let this series remain unfinished, so I resumed it later that day and, BOY am I glad I did because the rest of the series gets a LOT stronger (and MUCH better written).
