There are no stars at all for some of us
Hey! Internet! I've just been talking about how much it sucks when a novel kills off its queer characters. Especially when there's, like, one of them and they're the one who doesn't make it. Can someone point me toward a list of books where that doesn't happen? Spoilers, whatever.

I thought maybe just a tad.
That one had the weird effect of not really registering with me at the time: I finished the novel, thought, "Well, that was awful, but Carmichael was bound to lose someone and Elvira was the co-protagonist," and then about two days later I was really upset by it. Especially since the same novel had taken care to establish that Lucy and David Kahn did get away from Farthing successfully and were safe in Canada; the dystopia level of the world wasn't automatic death to outsiders. So now I'm still upset about it and expect to remain that way.
