This felt very fanfic-y, in that the author assumes that every detail of the characters’ physical attraction to each other is more interesting than the plot or even their thoughts and characterization. The world building is fine, although I found the extra letters annoying. Okay, you’ve discovered that your keyboard can make the ç, good for you! Sticking it in your fantasy is just a modern version of putting apostrophes in peoples names. 

This made me cranky about the third gender, which used the ç and also was completely unexplained. Look, gender is a construct so don’t assume how you’ve constructed yours is a basic principle of humanity, okay? It just made me feel bad about the people in the fantasy world whose gender doesn’t match up because they are feeling squashed. 

Tadik was great, especially in the back third once he learned to call E by his childhood nickname.

Final bits of crankiness: the anxiety stuff made the character annoying to read about for so long! Let him do something already! And the cover makes it look like one dude was falling asleep. Maybe the artist has problems with eyeballs so all the people keep their eyelids down…
