- Loveable characters? Yes
5.0
from just reading the blurb, i expected a fanfic-y depiction of queer rebellion in the post-apocalypse. however this was full of nuance, spiritual exploration, and of course, found family. imperfect people, in a ducked up world, making the most of what they have. expressions of queer rage, insecurity, and beauty.
quote from the author: “if i wanted to write authentically about myself, i had no choice but to write about a trans boy turning into a monster.” like yeah
also i HAVE to mention.
soooo many cw tags on this one so i’ll highlight the biggest: VOMIT, GORE, GUN VIOLENCE.
Graphic: War, Death, Dysphoria, Gore, Terminal illness, Toxic relationship, Transphobia, Pandemic/Epidemic, Violence, Deadnaming, Blood, Body horror, Injury/Injury detail, Mass/school shootings, Medical content, Child abuse, Religious bigotry, Vomit, Death of parent, Gun violence, and Murder
Moderate: Sexual content, Trafficking, Eating disorder, Child death, Excrement, and Genocide
