A review by anakuroma
Izzy at the End of the World by K.A. Reynolds
3.0
TW: death, suicide (past), abuse of a parent (past) , vomit, mentions of bullying, homophobia and transphobia
Note: I'm an autistic and non-binary reviewer.
While I found a lot of the dialogue a bit unbelievable (especially moments between Izzy and Raven) and felt there could have been better showing than telling, it was a fun little read with a whole lot of heart. Good rep for neuro (autism, anxiety, depression) and physical (lyme disease, asthma) disability that I feel was well done. Also, this cover? This cover is AMAZING.
But on a small rant: Raven saying space opera like Star wars not making sense to him as they're confusing, but going on to say he prefers anime since it's free of space confusion... Uh... Has the author not heard of Gundam!? Cowboy Beebop? Outlaw Star? Captain Harlock? Battleship Yamoto? Anime in space is a hecka HUGE genre.
