This entire book is exposition, I enjoyed it on the whole but the pacing was off.  There's also a character who is called two different names without explanation, so maybe a mistake not caught by edit?

Tutack is called a different name in two chapters then Tutack again

  Also creating a diverse character pool does not happen by simply retconning one of your existing characters into being trans, that ain't the way chief. A pretty disappointing entry in the world of Valdemar (and I've read them all)
