That sounds interesting. The library has it (wow! A sf/fantasy novel that I want to read is actually in stock in IOW Libraries!!!) I'll reserve it after I come back from America.

As for the slashiness... I ordered two books from Amazon the other week that I knew hardly anything about except that they were fantasy, with pretty male leads, and the blurbs led me to except slashiness, so I certainly can't say you're wrong on your assumption. (Androgynous sounds... odd, though.)
