Holy transphobic garbage, Batman!
Early on, I wondered if this book might drop a transphobic punchline. But, I thought, no. It was just my own paranoia creeping up on me. I had no reason to assume my guess would turn out to be right.
On the whole, the writing style is very good. Some of the characters are layered, complex, and fascinating. The story is interesting.
But the downsides heavily outweigh the positives. The ending could have been written by Suella Braverman as a scare tactic. Additionally, the author's misandry is apparent.
So anyways, it's a no from me.
