The story was super interesting and the art was wonderfully done, but I can’t excuse the queerphobia that is rampant in this book. Also I hate the trope of the biggest queerphobic person is secretly gay. (Even though it’s rooted in reality at times), it is not the cute redemption arc y’all think it is.  Even with the other characters repeatedly correcting it, the way it popped up within the first few pages and just kept showing up really ruined this book for me.
