I have mixed feelings about this one. Even though in the end V and Jane did work rather well, I still have some problems with the book. As I already said in comments when reading, V's love for Jane came out of the blue and magically erased his attraction to Butch. V spends almost half the book fighting his attraction, going as far as saying it's sick and perverse. Later he comes out to Butch as bi. Why did he feel so bad for his feelings when he'd had 300 years to come to terms with them? Or was it just because it was his friend? And had the right woman cured him of the homosexual tendencies? If that's the underlying message then I really do have problem with it, but I got the idea it wasn't supposed to be it, so I'm still rating the book 3 stars.
