but I've learned some stuff about the "green rider problem" by fandom osmosis, and I seem to recall that this was one of the things Bear and Monette were specifically trying to address.
Ah,yes, that part is definitely there and well done enough.

Bear has said in the Q&A posts, for example, that Isolfr is straight and remains straight despite the frenzies and "marriage" to two guys
Yeah, I'd put Isolfr as a 2 on the Kinsey scale.

The animals really are quite animal like rather than humans (or human-like supernatural beings) in animal form.
Err, yes, but it's not like human-like is the only kind of treatment there is to that sort of thing, look no farthar than to ASOIAF for a more down to earth approach to animal companions.

I don't know that much about Bear, and i've read very little of her writing, so yeah, I'd have trouble making that comparison.

Oh, I didn't know the sequel was already out. I look forward to it, since it might be enough to male me change my mind thematically speaking, depending on where it's headed.
