less body-horror than i was expecting but i’m not generally someone who seeks out gore so the occasional medical stuff was a pretty good level for me. well written, super lovable characters, interesting plot and magic system, amazing representation. augh. i love him

Please please please read the content warnings, as many extremely violent, horrible things happen, and it might be a very difficult read for some. It's a very good book but very dark.seattlehols16's review against another edition

While this book does have a host of trigger warnings, it is horror after all, it also feels like an important book. I only have on of the identities that is explored in this book (being a woman in a world that requires women to be only a certain thing) and the author captured the FEELING of it. The other two identities were handled in the same careful, nuanced, real way. It’s a hard but necessary read.scmiller's review against another edition
