Rare for me to give books 5 stars, but I vibed with this on so many levels. I loved Shesheshen, the queerness, the way monstrousness and villainy are handled. Shesheshen's phrasing of things genuinely made me laugh out loud a few times. And unexpected asexual characters! So many ticks on my list that so rarely get ticked.
