Agreed. I can deal with the commas. And I might be guilty of the overuse of commas. :lol2: Thanks for commenting.

I know! :lol2: :lol2: Thanks for commenting.

Aww, thank you! Really appreciate it.

I love how your personality and enthusiasm really show through in this review! This seems like a very fun, fascinating book series. I especially like the fact that there is a fully fleshed-out LGBT character, who exists as more than just his sexuality.
