          <body><![CDATA[Loved it. I was promised noir fantasy, and noir fantasy I got.  The main character being gay definitely felt gimmicky in presentation, but that may have been emphasized by his being the least interesting of the three protagonists (We get it, he's angry at his dad and guilty about his past).<br/><br/>...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/76504688">more...</a>]]></body>
