Cindy McBride asked this question about Too Like the Lightning (Terra Ignota, #1):
Ummm, so does this book imply approval or disapproval of divergent gender identities and the validity (or lack thereof) of religion? Answers will determine whether or not I'll be interested in reading. Thanks!
Scott If you are interested in hearing about "divergent gender identities", then I say go for it. This is certainly an interesting lesson in gender politics…moreIf you are interested in hearing about "divergent gender identities", then I say go for it. This is certainly an interesting lesson in gender politics and an exercise in thinking differently about gender. If you are looking for a book that will cast disapproval on them, stick to your weird right-wing fantasy books. As far as implying the validity of religion? Same answer: go for it if you want to explore new ideas, stay away if you want your pre-existing attitudes to be reinforced.(less)
