... she keeps saying that, as though she has any right to make that decision?

I am just so mad at the inconsistency of the way this book deals with gender and sexuality norms.

Authors, please be very sure you know what the word "bely" means if you're going to use it!

I really don't understand why Dylan is so resistant to his attraction to men. It's inconsistent with the world-building.

If this is how people typically pursue sexual partners, I can understand why rejection includes so much yelling.

FFS, he has told you like a million times that you don't want to see, but you never listen and every single time he is right. JUST TURN AROUND NOW!

Ok, I really don't understand sexual interactions in this book/world.

WTF is up with these stories about people (women) rejecting the hero by yelling at him? Honestly it's just making me feel like he must be a creepy asshole who can't take a hint.

It's always interesting to see the different ways authors (especially in SFF) convey that a character is trans.
