Phoenix Extravagant by Yoon Ha Lee

5.0

For my diversity challenge: autistic author

This was so good!! Can't even describe how much I loved it. Non-binary mc who uses they/them pronouns (which is very prominent since the book is written in third person), and there is no transphobia or homophobia! Casually queer side characters, and some minor minor characters in a poly relationship. Asian-inspired setting, pretty light sci-fi + fantasy.

Tw: torture (beating), death
