The LGBTQ+ rep in this book was not the focus, but I really like how well-incorporated it was. Sexual attraction to the same gender was included casually throughout the book. There were multiple side characters who used the gender-neutral pronouns xe/xir/xirs, which I have never seen in a book before and found refreshing. Characters of unspecified genders were also referred to as they/them/theirs.
I look forward to reading more by Rebecca Roanhorse!

Among the many things that I appreciated about this book, beyond it just being a really good epic fantasy, is that the world is so effortlessly queer.
