Quick! What's the best SFF novel or film you can think of with a trans lead?
@Nezchan _Full Fathom Five_ by Max Gladstone (#3 in the #CraftSequence)
Is that a book that can be read standalone, or does it need the other books in the series to get the full effect/larger story?
@Nezchan Any of the Craft Sequence books save _Last First Snow_ can be read standalone to full effect. Doing so will give you minor spoilers for the earlier books in publishing order, but it won't ruin the experience of them.
@Nezchan (Actually _Four Roads Cross_ has a definite place in the reading order too, but that's not relevant to the question at hand.)
