The premise is interesting, a small group of survivors fleeing a lost earth in an AI controlled spaceship. The AI is determined to make it's charges happy and prepared for the future planetary colonization. In it's own arcane logic it decides the the best way for the male child Steve to be happy is for him to be a girl. The machine can be fought or bargained with but only about small things, but for big things like this it is implacable. Steve fights what he can, resting becoming a girl, but uses his skills to make the best of things.The problem is Steve has no backbone. Constantly Steve will find himself in a situation created by his friends or enemies where he is uncomfortable. At most he puts up a token resistance then follows along, even when he decided explicitly on something else earlier. A few times would be fine, they are teenagers and we all give in to peer pressure from time to time, but it happens every time in this story. It shows a lack of depth of character for Steve and writing ability for the author.
tl;dr - An interesting premise but a weak heroine makes this series a read only when you do not have something better in the queue.

G11 Mistaken Idenity Book 1 of the G11 Trilogy eBook Sarah Bayen Sapphire Stevens Reviews
Having read all three books I found the main character annoying in that gender identity was not resolved until almost the end of the third book. The books were OK but focused on continual angst of the main character continually stating he was a boy while dressing as a girl, designing girls clothes and acting feminine and with a supposed rating of 82% female by the 'machine'
For me it would have been better for the gender identity to be resolved much earlier and the story focused on the adventure and new world.
There are many books I read for a second time but for me this is not one of them.
A fantastic book! It grabbed me from the start and didn't let go. I wanted to skim to find out what happens but didn't want to miss savoring any of the story. This is story-telling at its finest. A real look into someone's life. It doesn't matter what genre this is, its cute, poignant, realistic, and fleshes out the characters very well. You can really feel for/with the main character, have a love/like for those he liked, and hate those that treated him badly. I've read some other TG tales, and for the most part, they are just fantasy wishes put down on paper - very disappointing - not true, gripping stories like this. This is a rare gem - well worth the money! I will look for more stories from Sarah Bayen.
As with my reviews for other multi-volume works, I am reviewing the entire series (three books) at once.
The books take place on a spaceship, sometime in the future, after the earth has become inhabitable. The mission's purpose is to find a new earth-like planet to colonize. The adult passengers are in hibernation, and only a handful of passengers in their mid-teens are awake.
The ship is run by the Machine. It decides that a boy and a girl, against their wishes, are each to be assigned a gender identity which is opposite to their biologically assigned sex. The boy, whose name is Steve, gets assigned the moniker G11 (girl #11), thus the title of the books. The books are all told from his point of view.
Frankly the books have about as much suspense as something written for a preschooler. It is only at the midpoint of the third book that the first real crisis takes place.
Most of the first book has to do with Steve's adaption to becoming a girl. This is done quite well, and (at the risk of being sexist) and is probably due to the author being female.
The second book just continues on the same vein, and doesn't move the story ahead very much except for the discovery of a planet they can inhabit.
The third book concerns itself with the building of the colony on the new planet, and is much better than the first two.
I wasn't sure about this series - but gave the first book a go and from there I had to keep going through all 3 almost non-stop because I became so caught up in Steve's story. Pros The concept was good and all the main characters were developed nicely as the story unfolded. I really loved the way in which Steve was developed into a more rounded character that - albeit with some reluctance, began to enjoy the experience of being female and bonding with the girls. The story was a strong one and evolved quite naturally, and the slightly spiritual element introduced in book 3 worked well for me. Cons Well no-one is going to argue (at least not very successfully) that boys have a well established track record of acting like a******s around young girls but I felt they were a bit too one dimensional in this regard. Young boys can be pretty overwhelmed by having to find their way through the sexual minefield of adolescence when they have had minimal interaction with girls to that point, and even less experience of interacting with them (or indeed anybody) on an emotional level. This was less well explored but it was nice that the story also touched on a lot of other issues around sexuality including the preference for same sex sexuality . I found it less than convincing when Karen starts to act in like manner to the boys. Regardless of any underlying tendencies she might have had regarding her gender/sexuality she had experienced life as a young girl up to and including menstruation with all the hormonal 'challenges' that brings - so she should have had way more insight into the way her behavior was impacting on the girls (including Steve) who had been her former friends and peers. Not all young males are that aggressive with one another so for Karen (even as a clear alpha character) to be that way seemed like a stretch. Still loved it though and would be happy to see more books featuring these characters in some on-going planetary adventures. Gender is such a fascinating subject!
The premise is interesting, a small group of survivors fleeing a lost earth in an AI controlled spaceship. The AI is determined to make it's charges happy and prepared for the future planetary colonization. In it's own arcane logic it decides the the best way for the male child Steve to be happy is for him to be a girl. The machine can be fought or bargained with but only about small things, but for big things like this it is implacable. Steve fights what he can, resting becoming a girl, but uses his skills to make the best of things.
The problem is Steve has no backbone. Constantly Steve will find himself in a situation created by his friends or enemies where he is uncomfortable. At most he puts up a token resistance then follows along, even when he decided explicitly on something else earlier. A few times would be fine, they are teenagers and we all give in to peer pressure from time to time, but it happens every time in this story. It shows a lack of depth of character for Steve and writing ability for the author.
tl;dr - An interesting premise but a weak heroine makes this series a read only when you do not have something better in the queue.
