2.5. must adjust expectations that it is a ya book. she is messy and lost in the sauce (lost in the plot) at times. incredibly heavy handed with it's theme, but there is a 13 yr old going feral over this book someone. that kid would give it 5 stars

There are some great concepts in this book, but it was poorly executed. It was sloppy and it frustrated me. That being said, it was entertaining enough and I appreciate the queer (specifically sapphic!) representation.

Really wanted to like this book but the prose was terrible the characters grating and the storyline that was supposed to be romantic honestly just felt abusive. Bummer dude.

The politics definitely got preachy from time to time, but it’s YA fantasy so it didn’t bother me all that much. Genuinely one of the best fantasy books I’ve read in some time; it was a total refresher from all the scholarly reading I do and a great segue back into reading what I love.
