3.0

The characters that alternate as narrators are all pretty diverse, but I got pretty annoyed that almost every chapter made a point to label something as problematic. The final .... Fight(?) Was a pretty big disappointment for how it was being built up, and the final twist felt like it contradicted the magic system and plot.

This author uses trans people for entertainment value & gives TERFs equal time to talk in this book. The constant misgendering is a reason to avoid it: it's painful to read.
