What an incredible combination of queerness, horror, tragedy and gore! Some parts of this story can be hard to read for some, so please check your triggers! That being said, this book was so moving and so gruesome at the same token. I personally struggle with historical books, but once this book grips you, the world falls away quite easily and quite completely. There was no pulling me out. Incredible read. I also loved the authors notes. Trans rage is one of my new favorite book themes!
