First couple of chapters were a bit slow for my preference but it picked up quickly after that and the relaxed and matter of fact way sexuality/race/gender is approached is great to read. Non of those factors were defining parts of the characters and were just naturally part of them.
I loved the mix of tense action and emotional moments, and the mythology mixed with real life was really well executed.
