Hello. Have currently been reading songmaster... But I had to stop.
I have just gotten to the part where it is clear that Johesf and Anset are about to have a sexual and/or a romantic relationship.
And I cant continue on.
At first, I thought it might be my lack of contact with homosexuality that turned me off. But no. Even if, in my mind I made anset A girl, it did not change how I felt.
A bigger part of it is the age difference, but even that is not the problem. I would have preferred Ansset to have a mutual sexual relationship with Mikal then with Josif.
the reason for how I feel about this is because of Kyaren. She Loves Josif and Ansset. She is the confidant of Ansset, and the mother of Josif's son. Both have a responsibility to her.
Kyaren was a bitter woman, who will not take betrayal well.
This is a horrible train wreck that both Ansset and Josif should (and probibly do) see coming a mile away.
But do not avert it because of a combination of curiosity and self-sabotaging lust.
If only Josif would explain the danger out in the open to Ansset exactly how he explained it to Kyaren... But I suppose weakness comes at the moment of truth for some.
Anyways, I was wondering how long this aspect of the plot will continue on, I just cant watch the train wreck happen. I just know It will make me lose respect for these characters.
You can spoil it for me if you want, its a good book, and excellent writing as always, but im not exactly attached to any of the main characters. (except perhaps for Kyran.)

Read it anyways. Trust me- otherwise you'll never have the experience of having read the work. It's really the end of the book that is my favorite part. And yeah- that part squicked me out a little bit I won't lie- but read it, it's ending is tremendously beautiful.
