Really fantastic. Great portrayal of some of the struggles that trans people face on a daily basis. It’s my own naïveté but I never thought that a trans person (I don’t want to say acknowledging but I can’t think of a better word rn) their true gender could be considered an assault to that gender by close-minded cis people. This makes me more aware of the education and appropriate mindset that needs to be perpetuated in society.
As for the MC, I liked her. Yes there were times when I thought she was being stupid and unnecessarily rash but overall I liked her. She was far from perfect - she was human. Parts of the book kind of seem as if this is a villain origin story, which would be really interesting. One thing that kept surprising me was whenever the book highlighted her blonde hair/being white because my brain from the beginning just thought of her as brown. Hmm now that I’m considered if I wonder what that says about my own unconscious biases.
Parts of the story also reminded me of that new Amazon prime animated show, the one about superheroes - invincible. Although I only watched the 1st episode so
