Born to a harsh world, we Jokka have evolved three sexes to survive: neuter, male and female. Twice in our lives we may change from one to another. A change we accept with grace... or resignation. It was our way....until one female defied all tradition: Dlane Ashoi-anadi, revolutionary, intentionally childless, runaway.This is not her story. This is mine. I am Thenet Reña-eperu, female-guardian, voice of orthodoxy... and Dlane's first and dearest companion. This is the tale of how we changed each other... and how that changed everything.

Personally, I think that there needs to be a sequel; the end of the book is still torn between the choice of granting *sanity* to an entire third of the population, and dying out as a species. There are several places where this story could go. By the end -- which holds, yes, tragedy -- the the story has changed from being a very unconventional sort of romance/adventure to being a story of a species. Unfortunately for my tastes, that's where it ends, but I hold out hope that the author will wend her way back to What Happens Next. Though... the slightly "unfinished" feel, to me, mitigates much of the sadness; this is not The End. The torch has been passed, not extinguished.
If you're a reader who is looking for a HEA, this book is not really that. If you're a reader who enjoys seeing a different race, a different mindset, a world with no humans at all? Pick up this book. There's adventure, love, witty banter, pieces of a lost civilization, and in the end... There's a new Idea in that universe, that may yet change it. ( )
