- slow build but got interesting as it progressed
- enjoyable but rather predictable and typically y/a
- hard to like characters at first due to their flaughty politics but that is the point
- book felt longer than it should have been and lost me around the middle, but quickly picked up in the second half
- enjoyed it overall, especially regarding the undoing of political propoganda and brainwashing
- while the concepts of the book and within the book seem to directly speak to me and my experiences, I was underwhelmed and dissappointed
- thoughts were interesting due to the nature of said thoughts, but the book didn't speak to anything in particular
- want to get the physical copy for my father, ha ha
- very well done and well written (albiet more academic) introduction and analysis/critique of contemporary transphobia/queerphobia
- slightly repetitive but needed reinforcement of how transphobia and corruption has spread across the world under the guise of 'gender criticism' or denial
- insights into european and american transphobia as well as transphobia through colonialism in Africa
- while I don't usually like YA novels too much, i found this one rather enjoyable! The characters felt interesting (albiet frustrating at times) and the slow start pays off later on
- I liked the sapphic romance, but wish they had more time developing a friendship first, not love at first sight
- saw the mother spoiler/reveal from the start, but still found it compelling enough
- overall a good read! 3.75/5 stars from me :D
- love this mix of sci-fi and cosmic horror
- really enjoyed the detached narration and lack of names juxtaposed against the unreliable narrator and biased telling
- i think knowing about the movie and analysis of it damped my experience reading a bit, but that is my own fault
- found that the overwhelming and ever increasing strangeness and uncanny-ness was really well done
- 4.5/5 stars. Can't wait to read more from the author and series!
