This is dull and repetitive. The plot doesn’t really matter because it’s mainly the backdrop for the main character to scrape along the surface of what it is to be trans and autistic. It’s all so shallow and I’m really disappointed. It also cannot stop repeating the same ideas or in book lore over and over again without new information or meaningful commentary. It’s grating.

“Herbaceous and rich, like drinking rubies.”

I’m sorry… what?

“…I felt a tunnel, hot and tender, starting at my throat and rushing downward, widening like a shotgun shell.”

What kind of fuck ass sentence is that? Has this author ever seen a shotgun shell???

I literally hate Nadira

“Her voice was less brash than usual, like a kid’s voice, because she was a kid.”

You can’t be serious…

Am I supposed to care that this kid is dead? Why did she run out like that? It doesn’t make sense. We just made a point of saying how she was changing and finding her voice and being brave and that translates to her running out of the vault and into the bird swarm? I don’t buy it and I don’t care. I can hardly remember who is who in this book because they all sound the same including this kid.
