This book, I don’t even know what to say about it. The beginning felt slow to me, I think too because the prose is unique and takes attention to follow. But once I was in the rhythm of the reading holy hell, what a ferocious anthem to queerness to revenge to disruption of the systems that seek to suppress us. This book is a crescendo and the peak is worth it in the building.
This book is if the arm rebuilding scene in Harrow the Ninth were an explicit sex scene instead of an allegory. Content warning for explicit sex with power dynamic elements, violence and some body horror. Someone read this so I can talk about it with you.
