Compared to the first 2 books, this one isn't as interesting in my opinion. However, it's still worth giving a read (especially since the rest of the series is really good).

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.
