This is a fun small world that in many ways, doesn't create a world of homophobia, but embraces those who want to find their way.  its a mix of funny moments, to tense encounters, as well as some spicy content.  It gives the readers something fun to ponder, if we had a world where being married off to someone who you don't love  isn't always set in stone, but can create alterations in the world.   And you can be happy with them, even though at times the characters drove you nuts.
