SF present only in homeopathic quantities
the rest of the subject matter not really my cup of tea.

Not Science Fiction
This isn't Science Fiction, this is Gender Studies Fiction, or something like that. I don't mean to disparage that subject matter...if that's what you're into, then you'll probably enjoy this book...but I was expecting Sci-Fi more in line with the other books in this series, and this was definitely not that.
