It was really great to see an intersex character and the conversations around gender in general were really gorgeous in this book. I thought the characters were vividly drawn and this was an original story.

Things I would have liked: a little more development about the fungus/Cainland origins

Would have loved more scenes with Carmichael 

This book really focussed in on some relationships and I found the romance with Gogo to be complex and lovely but it did mean that Bridget, Howling and Feral faded into the background a lil.
