What he thinks and how he's reacted to don't always match up. We only "see" Stefan in how others react to and interact with him. There's quite a lot of Rand-swooning in the reviews, but I'm more interested in their reactions to each other. His initial and progressing reactions to Rand are hilarious. His way with people as the charmer/fixer serves his needs. Stefan is a "pretty gay guy" stereotype for a reason. Some of the less-glowy ones made me laugh you either like a first person character or you don't. Then I thought about it for a little while, and then I read some of the other reviews.

I read it without stopping except to eat. First person allows a plot that otherwise wouldn't work. I bought this immediately after reading the free e-sample, because it made me laugh and I could see Stefan was hiding much of himself.
