The Silver Lake

I really liked the world here. The gods are very present and active in everyone's lives- "meddlesome" comes to mind, in fact. This leads to a fascinating implied polytheology!

I also very much liked the approach to gender/sex; there are people who are "bi-gender" and who can apparently at will change their genders; apparently even other people can petition a god and have her/his gender changed. Committed relationships have nothing to do with the sexes or genders of the people involved, nor does parenthood.

On the other hand, almost all of our main POV characters are male.

I am not at this point sure if I'll continue with the series- while i really liked the world, it seemed long to me- and apparently extends through 4 more books!- and I show more would probably (petty of me, I know) find it more interesting if at least ONE of the main 5 characters were female. show less
