Representations
Gender:
Easy Bechdel pass. Although only one of the major viewpoint characters is a woman, her scenes frequently feature conversation with other women about matters of daily life. Sexism is primarily displayed by characters we are not intended to sympathise with.
Sex:
One of the main characters is bisexual, carries on a relationship with a man and a woman in parallel, and expresses an intention not to choose between lovers.
Race & Ethnicity:
The kingdom represented in this novel contains a variety of ethnic groups, some with tension between them. A month after reading I don't recall any specific racial representation, which suggests everyone may have been white. A major region within the story felt coded Italian to me.
Disability, Physical Diversity and Health:
One character is mute and communicates by signing. Some other characters suffer PTSD and / or continuing effects of injuries sustained in the previous novel (which I have not read). One character loses an arm and gets on with eir life.
Awards
19th place: Locus Poll Award, Best Fantasy Novel 2005
I don't think there was anything epic going on in this book, and I quite liked that. Much of this novel featured the characters going about their daily lives with sides of intrigue and relatively ordinary personal drama. It made a nice change from just about everything else I read, a pleasant surprise. There was no incest in this book, maybe in the next one, if ever that is published?
