Answering this question would almost be a spoiler, but since you asked. the romance is very, very light, and it is not the focus of the story. But, the relationship between the two main characters (whatever you want to call it) is brilliant.

Just the usual LGBT nuances inserted to make it eligible for the major SF awards.
Kai
Yes, but it is primarily a fish-out-of-water story, so if you want a focus on romance, you probably won't find that here. If you're avoiding romance, you won't be hit with too much of it, although this is politics and relationships permeate everything.

Not really. Some good scenes of friendships between women.
