This short novel kept me reading – there are some bits that are obviously detailing political systems, but I never found them tedious. I recognized some of the processes from actual communities I have been involved with. Those descriptions are balanced by the vivid, poignant characterizations of people, places and culture and a story full of adventure and incredible bravery. There's a certain grit to the story, some violence – never gratuitious, though; and still it left me with a positive sentiment. Definitely a "would read again".

dr4co commented on Genderleicht by Christine Olderdissen
Ich gehe nicht mit allen Vorschlägen in diesem Buch konform; es richtet sich definitiv an weniger feministische Leser*innen als ich. Es gibt mir jedoch wertvolle Anregungen für mein professionelles Schreiben, wo ich oft mit Kundschaft und Zielgruppen konfrontiert bin, die gendergerechte Sprache nicht gewöhnt sind.
Ausführliche Rezension folgt, wenn ich das Buch zu Ende gelesen habe!
