I agree with you. To get the favor of those in control of publishers he must ever so subtly make the genderfluid girl/dude seem like a really great person and deserving of everybody's love (whatever gender they are) even if the girl/dude is only as great as anyone else. I have only read the series to The Hammer of Thor and it does seem that Magnus may be interested in Alex. Which is kind of gross. I know its all right but it just seems a little pervy. coming back to the point, it seems like there are little hints to his attraction at the beginning (when he stairs at Alex while she is eating at the Luau) middle (when Alex looks like Magnus' mom weird huh) and end of the second book(when he somehow senses Alex's "sexchange"). And there is a very low chance of a Mag-Sam ship because her Muslim faith (and her oath to marry Amir unless he dies) which she is very connected to.(Maybe trying to be pc by including Muslims and LGBTQ+ which I might add is fine by me but the fact that they have to get extra praise for being who they are when they are equal to any ordinary person is a bit annoying.)
