What an ending! Damn!!!!

For most of the book i was totally in, curious , engaged, liking but not loving it, solid 4 stars. But oh my god, that ending sealed the deal!!! 

It’s a dystopian novel about memory and love and community and meaning and who we are with as bit of magic. Right up my alley even if it didn’t just kill with the ending. And it works have been great with the ending i thought it would have! But damn!

This book is a great exploration of love (romantic, platonic, and familial), loss, and identity. Though set in a gritty post-apocalyptic world, it is full of magic and emotion and hope. Also, I don't want to give to much away, but the ending really resonated with me as a trans person. Ms. Shepard thank you so much for feeding us <3
