This book is about someone who had half her soul stolen, which leads to an autistic coded character. Despite the negative implications, I thought the book did well at unpacking the negativity- until the very last line. Might just be a personal gripe, but I figured I would warn people. This book has a fix-it undertone about neurodivergence.
