Really interesting story and set up. I found it hard to be sympathetic to the characters. They're so wounded and ridiculous and I'm not as sorry for them as I maybe should be. That made the story hard to love. I very much liked it though. I've never read something so blatantly queer and trans which was exciting, if only for novelty and chuckles of recognition.
