Oh, I loved Roland's and Arriane's stories most, myself, so that makes sense! :)<br /><br />The issue of race is very subtle. As he's a demon, Roland doesn't actually have a race - yet he's black. They're able to change what they look like, but he chooses to stay black because he's comfortable in that form, even if black people are looked down on. It's very, very small part, but I was whooping for Roland and annoyed for the time. And the homosexuality part... that was just brilliant, how it was nothing :)<br /><br />Thank you!Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02828378728962868575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2381533012764037154.post-67945916727865228662012-06-10T14:45:45.805+01:002012-06-10T14:45:45.805+01:00Oh you have 110% sold me on this!!

But I am so fascinated to get a glimpse into these different tales of love from the characters we're so familiar with. Roland and Arriane's especially captivate me! Haha... kinda says a lot about me, doesn't it? I'm most excited for the two painful, tragic ones :P<br /><br />I love your paragraph on race and homosexuality in the novel <3 I'm so glad Lauren handled it brilliantly. AMAZING review, Jo!!Brodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16389909407256668662noreply@blogger.com
