Hell Followed with Us by Andrew Joseph White
Did not finish book. Stopped at 18%.
Ok so this fucking sucks. I was so excited to read this because of how incredible all the things sounded - trans rage, body horror, religious trauma and for fans of Gideon the Ninth! Those are like, all things I love and yet I really couldn't get into this.
I don't know if it is just not the right time for me or what but I tried the physical book and the audiobook and really struggled with both. Part of it was the first person narration I think, it just didn't click right and the writing felt a little young for me. I think I would have absolutely eaten this up a few years ago and implore anyone who is less jaded at reading than me to give this a go because damn it seems great for the right audience (and clearly people agree with that considering the average rating/general praise).
A real case of it's not you, it's me and that is upsetting for everyone involved.
