Talk:Desire & Decorum, Book 1/@comment-27818075-20181001191506

Oh man, this series gets worse and worse. First we have Annabelle as a LI (it'll be hilarious if MC can MARRY her in the end). Then in chapter 10 we have two guys kissing in a public place where literally ANYONE can see them (which makes the situation even more stupid). Historical accuracy died in agony. Then in chapter 11 we have a suddenly dying father and a sudden OPEN sexual harassment (duke Richards must be a moron to harass a girl on the street where, again, ANYONE can see that, and where Sinclaire just happens to run across). The plot is borrowed from everywhere and totally MarySued, and those LGBT issues are so forced. I actually have LESS complaint about Duke's behaviour because harassment was common at all times - but we have seen that in plenty of PB's books already. As we have seen gay couples in all the books. I know that's an important issue and all, but, seriously, there can't be a gay in EVERY small friends group. Their population is much smaller))

So, to sum up, this is by far the most upsetting PB's book. If there was no Sinclaire, there would be no reason at all to play it.
