A good book but I didn't really vibe with it, it was just so bleak, understandably so but it was kinda unrelenting. It was refreshing to have a neurodivergent/autistic main character.

this book left me with a pit in my heart. i have been pitted. gutted. emptied. I am in pain.

also the entire time i did in fact have a highlight color that was dedicated to all of the main character's autistic traits. relating to a character and their personified  and interactions THIS intensely??? unheard of. i am happy to see an authentic autistic experience existing in this space fantasy science fiction-y story.

brutal story, wonderful autistic , intersex, non binary, trans, lesbian representation and seeing that in this gene made me feel fulfilled. this is a beast of a novel and it cut through me
