The descriptions are visceral and have fascinating imagery. The chapter lengths felt good and punchy, although I have to say I found the alt POV chapters a little redundant and actually spoiling the twists that would have come more naturally and had bigger impact if we had stayed in Benji's POV. The ending felt a little rushed too but otherwise fine, those are the only reasons it's not a 5.
Also I'm absolutely dying to make some beaded lizards now.

The constant similarities shown between 'The Flood' and dysphoria were great, and just the trans representation and visibility over all were amazing.
I did feel like the ending was a bit rushed and i would've liked more resolution or a small piece of 'what happened after'.

Now on to my review, the first half of this book doesn’t have as much action as I would have liked. But things were picked up in the second half.
But one thing was left open and it’s bugging me: what the hell happened to Calvin in the end?
