I recently finished Ancillary Sword, after loving Ancillary Justice, by Ann Leckie. In this series, the culture the main character is part of doesn't recognize gender and uses female pronouns for everybody. And the author won't tell in interviews which gender the characters are. She says the characters and relationships are like rorshach tests. Sure enough, I thought the main love relationship in the first book was butch-femme. There are other complicated themes in the book too - about artificial intelligence, what makes a person and colonization.
