Give me trans and autistic rep, blood/gore and victorian rage with a good plot and I'm sold.

At 35 years old, this is the first time I've seen myself so fully in a character. I cannot explain the wealth of emotions I feel reading through Silas' eyes and knowing, even for a fictional character, I am not alone.

Not sure it was a good idea to have a trans character also be autistic(? I think thats what she's supposed to be anyway) as it feels like the two characteristics are linked. This is only saved by the other trans character that isnt autistic.

 I love a book that's so justifiably furious.
