The incest is heavy at then start, and the pedo has kinda maybe been there in his previous writing? He seems to like the “smaller” and more “meek” women in his stories, but I’ve only read a few so far.

Basically it’s a father daughter and two other people who almost had a thing, and they don’t care about flaunting stuff around.

And Deety has stated she wouldn’t have turned her Pop down.

Maybe. A lot of the older classic authors have their downsides in how they write their books, and if anything I remember Heinlein's women were not that great. I liked some of their traits, but they were in the end shallow. Fortunately modern writers have evolves, right? :/

The ending of NotB was so off for me for whatever reason that I can't really remember it. I can remember other books of his pretty well. Must mean something. But it was the initial concept that got things going and some of the early character stuff that I liked.
