I think this is a really important story. Its a really interesting look at gender fluidity. I really wanted to like it, but struggled with how it's written. I made it about halfway before I gave up and skipped to the last couple chapters. There's a lot of themes and scenes that remind me of Alanna by Tamora Pierce, and I really wanted this to be an adult version of that. But it just didnt feel like enough content to reasonably fill this many pages and a lot of it was redundant filler.
