In this book specifically this is not addressed, in the overall Realm of the Elderlings series LGBTQIA+ is absolutely represented. There is at least one gender fluid character who is very cleverly introduced (and is in this book, though the character is not identified as gender fluid outright in this novel, Hobb works to get the audience invested in the characters before she starts challenging the reader regarding gender) and there are multiple gay characters featured in the Rainwilds Chronicles.

No, but heteronormative gender roles do not apply in this world. There are many female soldiers and strong female characters in the book. I found it refreshing.
Davon
No. It's kind of hinted at with the character of the Fool, and the Fool I believe is gender fluid so thats about as close as it gets.
