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. I'm really curious about the book, cause the premise sounds fantastic, and I mean, damn is that cover awesome!

Without spoilers: the narrator tells you Gideon is a lesbian. She says she's a lesbian.

This book is not written for the Male Gaze.

No bosom's bounce beckoningly. Nothing quivers in anticipation. Nothing gets dewy. No soft lips parted in anticipation.

No woman wants to suddenly have sex with Gideon and look for any opportunity to suddenly give in to urges they were unaware of having.

So don't worry.

You'll have a great time reading this book.

Gideon is kick ass and a lot of fun. You'll like it. (less)
