Hi! I'm a huge fan of Ascendance Trilogy, its my fave series.I was wondering, is Roden coded as gay?It seems like his feelings for Jaron go deeper than friendship, and he seems to grapple internally with a lot of these feelings when paired w/competition&betrayal in TFP&TRK,&in TST a lot of his comments to Jaron seem to imply those feelings are still there.I&a lot of other lgbt fans feel a sense of brotherhood w/him.
