Above by Leah Bobet

2.0

This was the authors first ever book so i'm being nice. the world in Above had a lot of interesting things and a lot of little nuggets of potential. The cover is beautiful and that's what drew me in. I didn't love it but i don't think this book wasted my time. This isn't a spoiler but in the story there is an intersex person and the pronouns used were hir and sie. Ive never read anything that not only included an intersex individual but used gender nonbinary pronouns when talking about hir. I just wish it hadn't been so underused and way at the end.
The story felt clunky and i couldn't feel any building tension toward the climax at all. i guess i'm trying to say that the characters were mostly forgettable to me and they failed to get hardly any emotional reaction out of me at all.
