I think TJ Klune is a superbly talented author and I have long appreciated a unique tenderness in his writing, as well as his flair for quirky characters. This is a very engaging story. There was so much that I loved about it, particularly the Artemis Darth Vader character. But this one has some "open door" sexual content that I really don't enjoy, as well as what I consider to be a significant amount of coarse language. For me, these elements really detracted from the overall experience of the book.

Klune just knows what I wanna read, I have no explanation. How you gonna get me so emotional for a character called Artemis Darth Vader? Just hook the found family vibes straight to my veins.
