A Half-Built Garden by Ruthanna Emrys
3.0
reflective slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

Felt pandering with the pronouns and did not add much to the story. Felt like an outsider's attempt at normalizing gender fluidity, not an authentic discussion about identity. Loved the beginning of the story and felt engrossed by the concept immediately, but kept waiting for something to happen. Listened as an audiobook.
