A time-displaced cop struggles to protect history and the glorious revolution from a time-displaced psychopath, as well as from the cop's own better nature.

There's some transphobia.

People James's age are used to that. I think the previous Tor reviews scrutinised that dimension of the series in detail that I've forgotten. I remember there's some examination of gender from the point of view of at least one dwarf and a golem, which I won't spoil for reading or re-reading. It's not unrealistic for some other characters to react with hostility or uncertainty. And those cases are about characters who in fact are not human at all, but that may matter less than that nearly all of the prospective readers are. And wait, doesn't one of the human Watch characters explore their own options? Or am I thinking of some other particular characterisation?
