An interesting tale of the fallibility of those who would consider themselves all-powerful. This brought a unique perspective on trauma, determination, and forging the future. The book was a little slow to start up, and the final twist didn't quite land for me. The ending was hopeful though, which I appreciated! And there was lots of implicit gayness and gender throughout which is always lovely to see as something completely normal.
