Glad to have a transman star who was not at all interchangeable for a cis one, in a detailed fantasy setting. A bit challenging by how much trauma was worked in, in what seemed like a romance-type book.

Written explicitly for the author's younger self because it was a book they would have wanted, the book reads like it. For teen readers who feel misunderstood but love dark fantasty, this would be perfect, but it doesn't transcend its age range.

I ended up mostly listening to the audiobook which I highly recommend. I loved every moment and was so engaged, it's not often I can listen to an audiobook and just stare at the wall, entirely lost in the story.

When I tell you this book is so important to me. It's one of those I don't really have the words for because it's just so special. I was tearing up over the opening acknowledgements from the author. The humor is silly and I love it. The gender feels are powerful and overwhelming. The friendship and found family and queerness and diversity and general "lets burn down the establishment" of it all are !!!! just perfect.
