I love the ambitious drive of the main character, the exploration of gender identity through many different lenses, and the magical realism.

Who doesn't enjoy a queer re-writing of history?

However, this is not a romantic story - it's a story of greatness, fate and identity.

I don't think I've ever read a book that handles the themes of gender, gender identity and gender expectations so well.

I'm still not sure what I feel for our main characters, but all their flaws makes them human and I want to follow their journeys to the end.
