I barely have any notes, this truly gripped me by my throat like good old times. It doesn't feel very specifically YA, which I really appreciate, but there's definitely themes and moments that are YA.
This is the first book I've read that has a character with neopronouns and it was really nice to have that experience, because they do kinda stick out of the ordinary. But far from this being a defining part of this work.
I loved the worldbuilding - very gory and chaotic. I would love to see more details on history and development of the situation, I feel like it has enough material for a proper series. On the other hand it stands perfectly well by itself, this is just my personal preference.
I was attached to Benji from the first page and it stayed that way for the entire book. It just generally felt like such a personal, enthusiastic piece; I don't think anyone could help getting into it. Can't wait to read more by Andrew!
