Finder, Vol. 09: Voice by Carla Speed McNeil
4.0
Oh, Finder. I love you so. That's, uh, really all I have to say on the matter.
Reread 2016: Struggled a little the second time around. Some of the Llaverac "gender play" seems less subversive and more... coy. On the surface they all seem androgynous/genderfluid/gender transgressive, but underneath, they still seem somewhat tied (or at least Rachel does) to the idea of a person's "real" gender--see Rachel's confrontation with Lord Rod. What seemed so progressive on a first read was somewhat disappointing on the second.
