I don't understand why Pirateaba seems so resistant to an overt LGBTQIA+ presence in their books - it's quite clear that

Zel had a thing for Sserys, and at the end with the whole 'wings of my heart' and talking about having a son together

- but they seem determined to keep it from being ... Canonised? Obvious? Idk but it feels weird. The only other reference to anyone LGBTQIA+ is an offhand comment about a goblin and that felt almost dirty. In a world where half elves, gnolls, humans and drakes regularly do the horizontal interspecies monster mash, it seems weird and intentional.

A book that meanders for quite a while before finally getting to the best plot developments of the entire series, and makes me absolutely ravenous to read the next one.

Getting grimmer by the book, but well executed.
