First, I'll start with the good stuff. The use of neopronouns was so interesting! And honestly unlike anything I have seen in media before. The main character is nonbinary and uses the pronouns associated only with soldiers. And I think this would be a really good way to introduce people to how neopronouns are used in normal sentence structures and writing. Because this is something that can be hard for people to understand. And having a main character that is non binary is just good LGBTQ+ representation in general.
This book also had some cool body horror elements with the mushrooms and mold. But I will say that the
The secondary characters were also very forgettable, especially the doctor guy. He just didn't stand out at all to me.
The setting and time period of this book was also really confusing. Based on the summary, I thought it was going to be set in the modern day, but I was of course confused when I started reading, so I had to google the time period.
Overall, this book was just a bit underwhelming and forgettable, but I guess it would be good if you needed a spooky book to read in one sitting. It's definitely not the worst book I have ever read.
Read from the Provo Library.

For my first Kingfisher boom as well, it was a great jumping off point!
