*nods* I've only just started in on the uncensored reprint, so I haven't hit any major discrepancies yet -- but judging from the introduction, I'm guessing they cut out a lot of the sexual references? (Oh, how the YA market has changed in the last twenty years...) That was one of the huge shifts I noticed between the first and second books -- in Catspaw it's shown openly that Mikah is gay, Cat's had experiences with both men and women and at times turned tricks to survive back in Oldcity, and so forth, but in Psion there are only the most discreetly indirect hints of any of this, and his yearning for Jule is strangely chaste for a red-blooded and utterly non-sheltered teenage boy...

(Metropolis icon love, btw!)
