Picked this up on a whim due to the mentioned sapphic representation. I wanted to DNF a third of the way in because the bury your gays trope was becoming very apparent, but I continued in hopes that the remaining plot would make up for that... I finished in spite of and won't continue with the rest of the series as the plot wasn't too intriguing.
