I am enjoying this series. However, the author had the chance to do much more with the genderqueer character and I found myself very disappointed with how much it felt like token representation, or just a fact tossed in/mentioned to try to be inclusive, but not actually built into the character like ones gender identity truly is.

There was a lot of good feelings and the smut was enjoyable. 

The magic system was neat, though the addition of the

goddess and the demigoddess stuff was a bit tough to see how it fit

.

I struggled with the love interest as Morty had the potential to have much more depth than 'be hot' and 'be a decent person'. I appreciated their first date but struggled with how the narrative completely ignored that Morty uses he/they after the first conversation (and only used he). Which I was hoping for a bit more of a fleshed out partner to our main character. 

Did enjoy the surprise married factor though!
