I adore this book with the bottom of my heart, but it is Exhausting. This book put me through the ringer emotionally, but I loved reading it. Lee’s writing is pretty aggressive, and while I think the worldbuilding is really strong, there’s almost no exposition so you have to figure it out while you’re reading. So if you don’t want to feel like you’re putting together a puzzle while you’re reading, this might not be a great match for you. That said, I found it brilliant, and I fell in love with the characters while staying on the edge of my seat. Also, this books (and series) has good LGBT+ rep, but no (or not a lot of) romance.
