The book itself was good, despite the tropes being overdone. Also- definite transphobia on the author’s part. A trans character rapes her son… can we stop the “crossdressing man that is a rapist” trope for trans women? It’s disgusting.

- Book was ruined by transphobic discussion and harmful narrative around transgender folk. Unnecessarily graphic content that did not need to be so detailed (major TWs for this book). Some typos. World build wasn't so clear. MC could be frustrating and was difficult to connect with.
