5.0
It felt liberating to read characters who were unapologetically Black and queer even in a world that is so unforgiving as New Dawn. Neer was my favorite character, and "Nevermind" was a unique story that questioned what womanhood even means. "Timebox Altar(ed)" was so wonderfully hopeful and it was a great way to end the book. It even made me cry a little. Dare I say that I want this as a mini-series?
Moderate: Homophobia and Transphobia
