I've read all 5 books from Sager and it needs to be said... His female characters are awful.
While the premise wasn't bad, the execution was appalling (view spoiler)[and let's not pretend that it was on purpose because "it was all a movie". (hide spoiler)]
If you want to hate-read it, go for it but otherwise. No. Just no.

I'm not a huge fan of historical fiction but I hoped the the rest would compensate, which it mostly did. I'm not sure it needed to be a series but I might still read the next book....more

Honestly its' probably because the writing, themes and representation (intersex main character this time!) are awesome. I just don't think I'm the right audience (except book 4, I loved book 4!).
