Congratulations on being a Library Reads Pick!! I’m excited to read this new duo logo and have preordered. The cover is beautiful, except the gendered clothing is a disappointment. I know you have little to no power over it. I’m just sad that for a writer who is feminist, the publisher chose to show a female-appearing character with far tighter, revealing clothing including bare skin, next to a male-appearing character with more layers of clothing and gender affirming shoulder flaps. She’s fuckable, he’s authoritative. I started reading you when your first books came out and was always grateful for your thoughtfulness around ideas of gender. Too bad the artist was apparently kneejerk.
