I didn't enjoy this at all.

It wasn't really clear to me whether Paul was gay for you, didn't realise he was gay, or if he was simply bisexual. The first two of which I generally find unappealing anyway.

But the main issue I had with the book was the ultra violent homophobia. I just don't understand writers who create a fantasy world and then add extra homophobia and for that matter an extra layer of misogyny.
