![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif) noeon !!  What a great read -- Wicked Gentlemen has an intriguing setting, imaginative interesting characters that drew me in, political and religious infighting, a smattering of theological debate, and some spicy drunken sex.  Good stuff!!  But it should have been three times as long as it was.  I wanted more development of the relationship between Belimai and Harper, but I also wanted MUCH more about this world -- was the story about the Prodigals coming back from Hell true or was it a myth?  If true, when/why/how did it happen?  Continuing prejudice against them is certainly understandable, but if it's been centuries why haven't they intermarried more by now and created a hybrid?  Are there any demons in positions of power?  Is the discrimination legal or just habitual?  Is there anyone in the Church who's truly spiritual or has it degenerated completely into a political power, like the Popes during the Renaissance?  Do the Prodigals have souls?  Why can't more of them fly?  Etc etc etc etc etc.
