If you asked me to describe this book in one sentence I would say it is basically a queer YA Dresden Files. Suffice to say I'm a fan.
This book was action-packed and intense. I felt one of the fight scenes was a little confusing but this didn't really detract from the book overall.
I loved the non-binary and other queer representation in this book. I picked it up because I was feeling pretty bad about things related to being trans and really wanted to read some genre fiction with a trans MC and this book was everything I wanted it to be.
All that said there are a couple of issues I feel the need to bring up. The first is the lesser of the two; I really wish we'd seen a bit more of Erin's mum. I understand why she wasn't featured much but I think it would have made the ending more impactful and honestly I'm just very interested in her character. I really hope we get more of her in book 2
I really look forward to seeing how this series progresses especially in regards to Erin's mental health and the character relationships.
In conclusion I have one just one question: When can I read book 2?
Content Warnings: panic attacks, sexual assault/attempted rape, abuse, self-harm, attempted suicide, misgendering/transphobia, fat-shaming, misogyny
