The representation is everything I want in one book. Labels aren't explicitly stated (mostly because they don't exist in this world) but there is a black queer intersex character who seems to be autistic and a trans character with OCD and they own my heart. I want to keep reading forever because it hurts to leave them behind.
Be warned: I thought this was mainly an adventure story with discrimination as a background setting. It's very much in your face though.
