Justin asked this question about Gideon the Ninth (The Locked Tomb, #1):
I hope this doesn't sound too rude, but just how much lgbt stuff is in this book? I don't mind it (hell, a book I read recently actually hinted at a lgbt romance between two characters), but I'm curious if it's a major theme throughout the story, or is it more of something that comes up from time to time.

In one of the best blurbs ever, Charles Stross describes it as, "Lesbian necromancers (explore a haunted gothic palace) in space!" And, this is both absolutely spot-on and oversells the erotic aspects one might expect. Stross could have said, “Lady necromancers who are also gay, in space, etc.," but it lacks zing. So, there is matter of fact routine sexual identity, but no actual sex per se.(less)
