I hadn't realized that about Elric -- I tried to pick up the first book but I didn't really get into it. It was too Old School fantasy for me, really; there was a lot more "tell" than "show" back then, and POV was definitely not deep. I'm a child of the 90s, what can I say. LOL.

Don't you have a trans girl character in your YA steampunk? ISTR you talking about her and she sounded pretty freaking awesome. :)
