★★★★★

First ever book I read with a trans character, and it brought me to tears.

I read this book in a day and every time I tried putting it down, telling myself, ''Come on now, you've read enough, do something else'', my resolve only lasted about 5 minutes before I shoved my nose right back in.

The world building and character development is intricate and amazing. Yadriel's transness and queerness being a central theme of his character is incredibly important to me as a trans man myself, and it's one of the first books that made me feel truly seen in a character. The plot was gripping, thrilling and shocking, I adored every twist and turn and was engrossed every moment of reading. The love story between Julian and Yadriel is beautiful, and so important to me, again, as a queer trans man.
