    Interesting in that I need to remember and rejigger my gender expectations again. But I am sure a couple of pages and I will “Be back”.

      It will be interesting to see how this English language “gender gimmick” translates into genderless languages, like my native Finnish.

        Yes, I’m interested, too! Though I won’t be able to see how it really works, up close, I’m looking forward to hearing from translators and readers.

    Do you think there are enough vowels in that name? 🙂

      Names can never have too many vowels.
