Made me cry!!!!
Gideon is crude and funny and brave and kind and a delight. Teenage jock lesbian forced to goth, wears sunglasses about it. 
The plot is So Much (positive) and the Central relationship has pulverised my heart (positive but. OUCH.).

I literally had no idea what was going on for the first half of this book (I typically don’t read such high sci-fi/fantasy stuff), but once I let myself just read through it SLOWLY, I really enjoyed it, especially after the first 200 pages. Pretty fun stuff, excited to check out the rest of the series.
