This really dived into deep topics, even though it was fairly short! I loved the discussions on what is a monster, and what is an angel and how it's not always how they look that gives it away. It is the unseen and the ignored. I think everyone who is concerned about topics of justice and revolution should read this!

Finished this just as my train arrived.
This was pretty amazing. It really portrays so many important messages and heavy topics get it is written for such a young audience. 
First of all, we love casual queer representation and we love that that wasn't at all what this was about. Trans rep, polyam rep, non-binary rep, black rep, disability rep, 
Secondly, this books did such a good job at showing how it's always up to younger generations to take matters into their own hands and protect their own. Adults would rather turn a blind eye than admit they might be wrong or people they know aren't as good they would want them to be. But it's up to all of us to keep an eye out for each other and take care of each other. 
A short but powerful read. I can't wait to read the other book in the series.
