The thing that drew me to the book was that it is an #OwnVoices novel featuring a FTM trans main character dealing with his trauma. If I had to describe this book in one word, it would be "cringey."īear in mind all quotations from this uncorrected proof could possibly change once the book goes on sale June 1st. I didn't enjoy this book - it gets 2 stars from me because I was able to finish it. Edgmon says in the author's note, "Writing this book was a healing experience for me." But I have to be honest about my feelings - after all, I got this advanced reader copy for the purpose of providing an honest review. I know the author worked very hard on this story. The last time I did was for The Luminous Dead. I hate giving such a low score to a debut novel. I could have critiqued the weak, nearly non-existent development of the story's themes gone further with more examples of the flat worldbuilding explained how the book barely belongs to the genre of fantasy and more.
There is just so much I left out of this review. This is actually the book that changed my policy regarding 1 star reviews. Therefore, I decided to lower my score from 2 stars to 1. EDIT: This book is like an STD - it stays with you long after you are done.
