This book tried to do too many things for me to keep up with, and is a great example of meaningless representation. Now, I'm a big believer that we need more meaningless representation - that it shouldn't have to MEAN anything that a character is Black or nonbinary, especially in a made up sci Fi or fantasy world. However, this example of it just... Wasn't terribly well written! It is a story that is meant to be deeply queer and has tons of random racial diversity that was written by a straight cis white woman, and you can tell.
