Thanks to Wednesday Books for the free advance copy of this book.

 - Please allow me to do some queer screaming about THIS IS THE WAY THE WORLD ENDS! Multiple queer characters from different backgrounds! Multiple characters with varying visible and invisible disabilities! A twisty story in an opulent setting with some real heartbreaking and heart-filling moments!
- If you can't tell, I really loved this one. I blew through it in a single night, absolutely loving Waverly and her friends. I am a big fan of how Wilde used this over the top story to make real world points about capitalism, ableism, classism, and more.
