It's not subtle, and it's not realistic, especially given the time period it takes place in and how it plays out. This story is the most overbearing, heavy handed, in-your-face Trans-Identity agenda piece I've ever seen. But then there's another side to this story, a side the publisher's description and marketing blurbs deliberately leave out. There are some really good concepts and moments here, some fun twists, and a solid fleshing out of characters and relationships only teased at in the original story. I love the history and folklore of the area, and the fictional world Washington Irving created, and I was very interested to see how someone else would play in that sandbox. I read the original story every year, I watch the adaptations, and my wife and I try to make it to Sleepy Hollow / Tarrytown, NY every autumn.
For context, just know that I am a Sleepy Hollow junkie. I have alot I'd like to say about this book, but I'll do my best to keep it short.
