Metal from Heaven by August Clarke

Being a Hereafterist is a commitment to creating a brand-new world all the time. It is the method of making a new world, it does not stop, we are never there yet, We have never arrived at a restful Hereafter, we must keep making. We will need to change.
We must resist the ossification of precedent. We march toward Hereafter, not tomorrow, we march past tomorrow, we know tomorrow will be hard. We have a lot of revolutions. They fail.
Me, I believed the Hereafter would dawn, beyond which tyranny would be over and humans would stand shoulder to shoulder, in steadfast togetherness, ungoverned, beyond domination, in the age of play and trust. Not in my lifetime, but eventually. It was either that or the same and the same was unbearable.
I still love you. It is the first and final thing I recognize about myself….Remember that morning? Remember how we were small?
okay this was crazy!! i get why ppl don’t like it but it was my cup of tea! i do think it’s wrong to comp it to harrow - other than some 2nd person pov and the general “empire and capitalism bad”, where is the comparison? i would say it’s much much more of a dykified Mistborn than anything else. and i loved it!! crazy twists crazy turns crazy sex a mention of disco elysium next to the princess bride next to stone butch blues all next to each other in the afterword, this book had it all!!
