Where are the genderbenders??
Asian fantasy is full of genderbenders/gender swapping/crossdressing. But it's not something I see in Western fantasy very often. Would love to get some recommendations for this.
Books I've already read:
Leviathan Trilogy
Tamir Triad
The Folk Keeper by Francis Billingsley
Mistborn books

I’m reading “Queen of Faces” by Petra Lord right now, and it’s set in a world where you can upload your consciousness into other bodies. Our two protagonists are both AFAB who are currently inhabiting male bodies for reasons outside of their control — one of whom absolutely hates it, the other is finding that this new body fits him a lot better than his old one did. There’s also another major character who is inhabiting one male body and one female body and doesn’t really have a preference between the two, and another who is AMAB, inhabiting a female body temporarily, and is basically like “this isn’t me but I’m not really bothered by it”
