I really enjoyed listening to Slay. Not only is it an engaging story, but I appreciate that it provides an accessible entrance into the conversation about the need for "safe spaces" for marginalized communities.
Things I loved:
-sisterly love (even with non-blood sisters)
-gamer girl/promotion of girls in coding/STEM
-the validation that online communities are REAL communities and the sense of belonging within them is something of value
-the pure range of emotion I felt whole reading. This book had it all.

This book was really well written, engaging, and exciting. There were several parts that I felt were a bit extraneous and didn't add too much to the story, but it was negligible when compared with the overall book.
