A genderfluid character is portrayed as a villain and is called by both the narrator and the characters “it” and “creature”nick13's review against another edition

Just like the last two of these books, this one was really fun and had a quite creative plot with fun writing.
The only thing keeping this from a 5 star is that the plot is getting a little to repetitive at times and there is an androgynous character that is written as a monster which I found pretty transphobic.

I didn’t really like how the “person who was neither a man nor woman” was described as “it”… could have easily just been described as “they” but then again the book came out 21 years ago so what’s done is done I suppose. That’s about it though.aquakerwitch's review against another edition

The transphobia in this book is infuriating. The person who “looks like neither a man nor a woman” isn’t given a name, but is repeatedly referred to as a “creature” and “it”. The series hasn’t aged well in this respect.
