The Philosopher's Flight by Tom Miller. A fantastic and fantastical coming-of-age tale of a young man who dares to go against prevailing social mores and do what's in his heart. It's a feminist book, in many ways, with a male lead character. Miller creates an imaginary world that is consistent and works to shed light on how, when norms are challenged, society will go to many lengths to preserve the status quo... but talent will not be denied.
