The Golden Age

I really wanted to like this book. The Golden Age has lots of literary references, conversations about language, and rainbow diversity. Eve Morton brings lots of knowledge to the story and I think it weighs it down.

I love the emotional journey of Sebastian. This book is more about his journey and lives than it is a romance. I loved the interconnection between language, memory, and the ghosts we carry.

If it had been listed as a LGBT Fiction, I probably would not have read it, but I love romance. I think if it had just had Sebastian's journey, I would have read it. I love the debates. It was just way too much information, even for a geek like me, and I kept getting frustrated because I had preconceptions of what this book would be.

So with that said, don't take my word for it. Read it and let me know what you think. (Read an excerpt here.)
