But most of the books kind of treat Ianto as an afterthought, just there to show that RTD, & Show, is gay friendly.

Hmm. Can't really agree with that for all the novels. In Pack Animals, he was pretty much the main attraction, and in the Twilight Streets he basically saved everything in the future, then came back and saved everything in the present. In Almost Perfect, he was practically the main character! The Bay of the Dead is a good Ianto one, too.

But obviously, that's where the disagreement ends. Some of the books (like this one) feel like they were written, and then the editors have sent back the first draft saying "BTW - you heard of 'Ianto'?".

I understand the lack of him in the first three books, considering they are all set when he is supposed be invisible, but after that ... nope ... not really.
