Very satisfying ending to the trilogy, a perfect stopping point. Very interesting to finally have a book from Cal's perspective and I feel like Constantine finally honed her craft to a more polished level!

I enjoyed this one best of the three. It's told from Calanthes' perspective. He plays an important part in the first books too - and he is probably the most interesting character of the series. His cynicism and wit shine through in the writing, which felt different from the first two parts - I was quite impressed by that.
The story surpasses the typical cardboard character fantasy ones by several notches. Cal's character develops.
Especially at the start the story is very dark

So many feels!!!!!!!
This one follows Cal's story. He is the most interesting and complex character in the series.
This book is very very very dark and has made me suffer a little bit for Cal. A lot of answers are given but many new questions appear.
When I read this 8 years ago I didn't know there were 3 more books so it is exciting rereading this again knowing the story continues!

I didn't really feel the whole destiny thing/climax of the story but I love Cal.

Wraeththu burst onto the barren LGBT science fiction scene in the late 1980s with a blaze of attention. It was unique! Hermaphroditic men who fucked each other and made babies (somehow, I never really got with that part of the program)! They look like human men because they were human men until It Happened.
And even though there are no single-gender Wraeththu back come the women. An old wordplay I used to use to piss off my sisters, "women are just woe-men," seemed to me les mots justes for this book.
