I picked this up by chance at the Aesop Queer Library and I am so glad I did. As an American it took a bit to understand some of the dialogue but it is worth it. For a lot of the book it functions almost like short stories with a thematic through line for each section, but the end threads them all together beautifully in a way that made me sob. I loved it and will be looking for more from this author.

Okay, so:
Things I liked about this book: fantasy elements were really good, queer and trans main characters, great worldbuilding, I liked that you got to see so many character's perspectives, really enjoyed the writing stuff
Things I didn't like: that there were so many characters so spread out that by the time I reached the points were they all intersected I could only make sense of it by going back and taking notes on names/which character they were, etc. also the ending felt a bit cheesy for me at times.
