I had wondered if my reaction the first time around might be close: that the author had trouble settling on exactly what sort of story it was. From what I've seen so far, Klages has written mostly shorter works and may have shied away from the tome it would have required to cover everything touched on in this story in greater detail. Or, as we saw with Neil Gaiman in The Graveyard Book (and you can find in some other books by Gaiman), perhaps Klages simply prefers to just draw out the reader's own imagination. In support of this latter theory...
Another novella that I've mentioned here before is Wakulla Springs by Ellen Klages and Andy Duncan. It is another odd story that is part historical fiction, part mystery, part romance (a lesser part than this), with mere hints of fantasy, but no LGBT theme. I found it an intriguing read.
