A review by battog
His Right Hand by Mette Ivie Harrison
3.0
while i enjoyed this sequel, i found the main character's idiosyncrasies a tad annoying and found myself skimming some of the text for the dialogue (which in my mind is what the author does best).
i feel like a bit of a voyeur reading these books. i am pretty sure i am not the intended audience: a gay ex-mormon with a phd in english literature. these books seem to written to a certain mormon audience, one that is grappling with how the church and its members live in a rapidly changing culture, specifically in regards to sex, sexuality, and sexual identity. and for that reason, i find these novels engaging and fascinating. and i am pretty sure that if they had been published 10 years ago, i would have been writing my dissertation on this topic and using these books throughout.
