This book was just an okay read for me. I don't feel strongly one way or another about the tropes at play, and the writing was just fine. Pacing was a little uneven and the world building felt a bit squishy. The dialog was pretty good and there's a LOT of pining if you're into that sort of thing.
Graphic: Sexual content, Violence, and Blood
Moderate: Cursing
Minor: Transphobia
An antagonistic character repeatedly misgenders a non-binary character and tries to insist that they dress in a way "appropriate" to their AGAB.
