I was so enthralled, it only took 4 hours to read this. I felt so close to Silas, the main character. AJW is writing about autism, and trans identity and abuse in poetic language, but it’s crystal clear what he’s getting at. The world he created is a fantasy setting but it is so grounded in history that it feels real.
Graphic: Domestic abuse, Medical content, Abortion, and Murder
Moderate: Ableism and Transphobia
Minor: Rape
This book is pretty heavy. There’s a warning in the front. Please read it and take it seriously.
