Excellent book! The unspooling of the arguments in the book is so incredibly well done. Nuances, critical, but written in an accessible manner. An important primer to examining legality, societal change, and sustainable actions from a trans-oriented, anti-racist, anti-imperialist perspective.

An absolute waste of ink and paper. The characters are literally one-note (per a note from one of the authors, each based on specific attributes) the suspense that might exist is drowned out by repetitive thoughts by the bloated character perspectives, and also, all of these people are incredibly difficult to care about in their motivations or their lives. Not compelling at all.
