I loved this collection of essays written by range of amazing queer magical rebels. Looking at how we resist the systems around us.

A comforting, incredible, and personal set of essays from those existing in a world that doesn’t want them to thrive, using their own rituals to give them power in this said world. It’s diverse, and spoke to me during a very dark time as I read most of it whilst awake during a brief psychiatric ward admission. The book also contains trigger warnings, which I really appreciated. Thank you to all who contributed to this wonderful book.

This anthology is diverse, and some essays resonated for me more than others.

This book was written by various writers about their experiences with healing, power, feminism, etc. While I enjoyed the book for the most part it did get tedious towards the end and I ended up skimming the rest. So 3 out of 5 stars because it failed to keep my attention but you may think different. :-)

Some of the essays were exceptionally compelling. All of them were well written. I only shaved off some stars because the essays were very specific, so a batch of them didn't appeal to me at all. But there was a lot of diversity in the book, and that's important, good work.

I liked it, but I didn't love it. The review is in regard to the audiobook only.
LIKES:
Content warnings at the beginning of the book as well as at the start of each essay. It may seem like a small thing to notice, but as a listener, it's a much-appreciated detail.
Content from a diverse collection of womxn.
DISLIKES:
The performance itself was flat at times. I would have liked it more if the essays were read by their original authors.
The disclaimers at the beginning of the book left a sour taste for me. I think this is definitely a format issue, as most people skip the introductions and forewords in physical copies.
Overall, I enjoyed Becoming Dangerous. I will likely try a physical copy as the audiobook wasn't a total hit for me.
