This has a great setting and on some points an interesting premise and characters. My main reservation is actually Chel (?). While I feel sorry for what he's going through with all that intolerance, I can't take his romantic feelings seriously. It's a one-sided teen crush and as much because Michael was the one person who was nice to him. I would rather he grew out of it, as I would think it emotionally healthy, and a sign that he wasn't depending on Michael for all his emotional needs.
So for me it depends on how the story goes. If it really tries to set up Chel and Michael as a pairing, I'll be disappointed. But by the looks of the cover it might be more Lucifer and Chel and honestly I don't know how I feel about that. Right now Chel is just such a child and Lucifer so very much not. So even if I like the setting and so much else I fear that this is may be one of those stories that despite it all I end up giving up on. I hope not.
