Absolutely loved this book.  Easton is a really endearing main character and this is a delightfully creepy retelling of the Fall of the House of Usher.  I keep thinking about Madeline and the rabbits and I feel myself shiver.  I'm very excited for the sequel!

Main character does not face transphobia on page, just alludes to experiencing it in the past. Book as a whole is very thoughtful on the characters own gender, and gender within the fictional culture
