There were a number of things I really liked about this book. I felt Alex's character was fairly fleshed out, I liked the development of the story and how each character fit into the story line. I loved how Alex talked about his seizures and the imagery with his meditation.

I didn't like the casual use of the R word slur. Especially in light of what is clearly a neurodivergent character (I kept expecting a rebuke of some sort, like what happened with the c word and the n word being quoted).

Overall, a good medium paced read
