Kings, Queens, and In-Betweens by Tanya Boteju

3.0

---

I enjoyed some of the characters & relationships, but others felt flat and/or stereotypical. Deirdre felt way too Magical Fairy Dragmother, Gordon’s redemption didn’t feel earned, and there was hardly any exploration of the “in-betweens” bit of the title. [content warning for homophobia, internalized transphobia, parental abandonment, & excessive use of vomit as a plot point]
