Wicked Gentlemen

Totally wicked

This weekend I decided to go with a gay romance read, and selected Wicked Gentlemen by Ginn Hale. It’s one of those books that always recommended on lists of gay fantasy, but if you read the reviews people seem to feel rather ambiguous towards it, so I wasn’t sure how I would feel.

I’m still not entirely sure how I feel, actually.

Wicked Gentlemen is two separate stories about the same characters (serially). The first is in first person, and the second is in…

…third person. Not that that makes any real difference. I just wanted to state it. They both do a good job of what they are doing, and each one had a fairly solid plot, although the second one seemed a bit patchy when it came to the passage of time and distance.

But every so often I’d be reading along, and I’d suddenly start to feel like I was reading a different story. I do not know why this happened, but it was like I’d blank for a sentence or two, and then suddenly be reading a one-shot about the guy, which would eventually lead back to the main story…I don’t know. It was downright weird.

Otherwise it was good, and I enjoyed the world set-up, and somewhat wish there was a sequel to read.
