review 1: So. Hermaphrodites. I don't think it counts as transgender, but I don't have a tag for hermaphrodites, and on purpose - I prefer the male sex bits separate from female. Shrugged my way through most of the sex scenes, the rest I skipped. (Well, not completely truthful. I had to read the sex scenes, because it's not just your old plain banging. There is much more to it. Check this out:"The orgasm pulsed through him, crashing him against a far shore, then dragging him back out to the depths where the pleasure was so great he just might have drowned in it." Loved it!)The first part of the book dragged a little - 3.5 stars.The second part, all the action on the barge and after I loved enough to give it 6 stars :)4 stars total.PS I won this book in a contest. Many thanks to Beli... morenda for giving away a copy! :D
review 2: The MCs were good. The story line was good. The cultural world-building was good. I think my main reservations about this read go with the sex. They meet. They have sex. They run into each other again. More sex. They start working together. More sex. Both MCs comment in their own reveries that they are getting to like each other a lot. More sex. They go under cover. More sex. Stuff happens, they separate. Angst, angst, because there is NO SEX. Then they fall into each other's arms (literally) and (eventually)(FINALLY) have sex. HEA!Well - there was an interlude where Lefi realizes that Afton is filling the gap in his heart/soul left by his twin's death. I would have liked to see this a little bit more developed. a couple pages of sex could have been replaced by - a developing meaningful relationship?Nevertheless, it was an entertaining read. less
