I went into this book with no real expectations. The previous book had been too short for effective relationship development, imho, and had lacked the DnD energy I'd been hoping for.
So I was pleasantly surprised because this has both of these in spades. There are chapters devoted to game play and set up, which also lead into relationship development but even out of the game the author does a great job of moving this couple on from one time only hook-up to long term boyfriends. Shifting Theo from a player to boyfriend material was believable without resorting to any huge medical drama (with Jude).
Theo's dysphoria really struck a chord and while I know everyone is different, the reactions and yo-yoing emotions felt genuine.
This series has a very diverse cast of characters.
Fun read. Surprisingly low angst considering some of the subject matter.
