Lots of typos throughout this book. The editor didn’t do a very good job, unfortunately, which was distracting.
The book itself was good, despite the tropes being overdone. Also- definite transphobia on the author’s part. A trans character rapes her son… can we stop the “crossdressing man that is a rapist” trope for trans women? It’s disgusting.
