Silas is such an incredible main character. He is able to see and articulate his differences and similarities between his peers in such powerful ways. I’ve never read a historical fiction novel with an autistic character, and I am so impressed by White’s care in writing Silas. The horrors he sees and endures. The life that society has expected him to live.
The romance between him and Daphne (trans love interest) 🥹🫶🏻 It was so wonderful, and I could not get enough of them! The immediacy for seeing each other as they truly are was so beautiful 😭 I love them, and I enjoyed getting to see them being their true selves in society at the end.
I’m looking forward to reading more by Andrew Joseph White.

i saw parts of myself represented that I have never known how to articulate.
i generally don't enjoy horror but at this point I'll read literally anything AJW writes.
