That was a really interesting premise. I love the idea of a "third gender", the Carrier, and how this would effect society, and the life of someone born of that gender. Very thought-provoking. It did make me want the story to be longer, with even more background detail - but I'm greedy that way, lol. I wanted more info on Jensen's Carrier (poor, nameless creature) and I kind of wanted something horrible to happen to Jensen's dad and his arsey family but I appreciate that you'd still be writing it now if I had my way! Jensen eventually ended up safe and lucky with Jared and his babies, but it made me wonder about all the other poor carriers, who wouldn't be that lucky. See, you've made me think too much with this! Which is, I suppose, the highest compliment you can give a writer - it stayed with me afterwards. :-D
