Very action-oriented, with vivid and well developed characters. Queer audiences will love this book, TERFs will not.
Vivid and brutal.

I don’t normally review books, but this book is worth it to sit down and review. A post apocalyptic vision of brutality, this book is laced with gore and rending emotion, well woven, and devastating. The pacing is well done, ebbing and flowing with enough pause here and there with tender moments before resuming its unceasing crush of the human spirit. The characters of Fran, Beth, and Robbie (among others) feel real, which makes their trials and tribulations all the more personal. I couldn’t put it down and it left me entirely spent, empty.
