LOL THESE FAIRIES ARE SO HORNY I CAN'T HANDLE IT

On one hand I'm glad that this book acknowledged that fairies can be non-heterosexually horny (I thiiink in book 2 it might have come up briefly? these are all a blur to me) but this book had some of the most...unusual bisexual representation I've ever seen?

like first of all there's the bi High Lord who, it seems, is SO bisexual that he generally prefers to always have a threesome or more with at least 1 man and 1 woman?? and then there's the reveal that one of the fairies is bi but PREFERS women but has been in the closet for OVER FIVE HUNDRED YEARS like what? also at the end of this book she is still MOSTLY IN THE CLOSET BUT TOLD ONE PERSON ABOUT IT, like yes coming out is a personal decision and people/fairies should do it on their own schedule/level of comfort but it's been LITERALLY OVER FIVE HUNDRED YEARS, I do not understand the priorities of these horny fairies

also this book is off-the-rails and so weird about raising the stakes and then instantly resolving problems as they arise, like “oh no, insurmountable obstacle...jk don't worry I have a new magic power/friend/creature/spell”. like every chapter.

also I can't believe there's going to be another book in this series bc it seems like this pretty much resolved everything? Is the next one just going to be fairy erotica with no plot because that seems to be what's left to do here. also I will read that.
