This book was everything I could wish for in a queer story. And this is the first queer revenge story I've ever heard of and god was it satisfying. The representation is absolutely amazing, I love finally having a FTM character that isn't violently dysphoric physically and doesn't bind, I love the autistic rep, seeing Nick stim and melt down was so revolutionary for me, I've never seen that before. I'm in love I can't recommend this book enough!!! Do read the trigger warnings tho!!!

Beautifully written. At first the at times poetic writing style and content had me confused but as more world building went on, the premise quickly became clear. This book captured so much. A dystopian setting surrounded by religious bigotry, genocide, trauma and abuse,  and a badass group of resilient queer and neurodivergent youth.

cheshiredownunder's review against another edition

I wasn’t a fan of a lot of the content in the book. It was too gory for my taste and it just made me uncomfortable to read it. How graphic the book gets at times is way out of my comfort zone and while I was recommended this book, it went past a lot of my hard “no’s” for media I want to consume. It really effected my mental health and I just absolutely was not a fan. This book is great for what it is but it’s not the book for me.

Minor: Ableism, Deadnaming, and Gun violence

religious bigotry:

christian cult-group aims to kill everyone in the world who doesn't agree with their beliefs

••• vomit:

goes hand in hand with gore; there are many mentions of the mc and others literally puking up their guts/organs

••• gore:

lots of gore in this book; there is talk of bodies rotting, flesh falling off, organs falling out, broken bones sticking out, etc

••• death:

lots of talk of dead bodies everywhere, also there is a fair bit of murder which causes more death

••• injury/injury detail:

mainly the same as gore

••• transphobia/deadnaming:

there's a fair bit of misgendering in some parts of the book as well some deadnaming

••• fire/fire injury:

a building burns with people inside, some of whom die, and there is some discussion of blisters/burns caused by the fire.
