Great worldbuilding!

Revisado: 02-20-22

A cool and impressive piece of storytelling. So smart and beautifully told. It is not my favorite genre. I am a bit to silly for this to be one of my favorite books ever but that is on me and not the book. I just want more comedy contrasting the drama and that would probably not have worked for this kind of story. Such a cool world and important subject matters and it manages to be both personal and vulnerable while at the same time encompassing a wast wold and lots of characters.

Not my cup of rainbow

Revisado: 02-15-22

I love the Simon Snow trilogy and read them first so maybe I just came in to this book with the wrong mindset. I just had a really hard time liking the characters. I know that does not have to make a story bad but for me it made it har to root for them. I also got pretty irritated about the book telling me how one of the characters was such a “good guy” when I thought he was a bit of an asshole who didn’t listen to or respect the main characters boundaries and prioritized his fragile masculinity over her wishes. It would have been fine if It didn’t feel like the book signed of on it. I am glad that this book lead to the other books though.
The reading was fine but sometimes the changing of readers for different parts was more disorienting than helpful.

More please

I am not saying it wasn’t a satisfying ending. It was. I just want to spent more time with these characters and this wonderful reading voice. Guess I’m gonna have to go back and read the trilogy from the beginning again.

This is my new favorite book!

Revisado: 10-10-20

I loved this book. It felt like a loveletter both to superherostories and to queer stories. It feelt like it was written for all of us trans nerds who just got figuratively slapped in the face by J.K Rowling.

Slight spoiler:
I thought the part of the story that contained coming out to unsupportive family members would just be painful but the way it was written felt for me cathartic. Panfully true but cathartic. And the superhero storyline was a perfectbalance betwene tropes and twists.

I’m gonna tell all my friends about this book. Maybe they will read this review while looking it up. In that case: Hi friend! Love you!

Abundantly queer

Revisado: 07-15-20

Loved all the queer storylines! The story itself was a bit slow and repetitive in the beginning but got better and better. Loved what it had to say about love and the ending gave me the feels.

“Belonging is where loneliness ends.”

Revisado: 06-21-20

Everything I hoped it would be and more. Could not stop reading. Painfully and hopefully human. I’m lost for words.
Also lgbtqi+ embracing.

If you wanna have a good time (just give me a Carl?)

Revisado: 10-15-18

Holy shitballs! Sorry, I just finished reading and am still a bit caught up in the story. It’s a really exiting, can’t-put-it-down kind of book.
What I like most about it however is that it is the kind of art that helps you (or at least helped me) to think about and interact with complicated and heavy subjects. I’m glad so many people will read it because I’m gonna need to find someone to talk with about it all. It feels like a important book in how It could not have been written in any other time than now. Not just because of technology, but because of the challenges specific to our time.
And I liked the characters.
Glad I read it.
