@aprrrl@witches.town You should definitely read the next two -- they expand on the themes in really interesting ways.

Also I think it's a mistake to try and assign gender to Radachi at all. Despite that, my brain kept trying really hard to do so.

I wish in the first Leckie hadn't given signifiers that people latch on to as representative as gender/sex, and my reading of the subtext of later books is that she even regrets having done so.
